We are currently getting ready to launch our research project. This requires us to sort out our partnership agreements, get ethical approval and advertise and select a researcher.

We have already had one meeting of what we are calling the project governance group – people from the RSC, Tate, Arts Council and The University of Nottingham. We met in Stratford in early July to agree on the steps we need to take to select schools and to begin the project.

The RSC and Tate Schools and Teachers team are working on a short list of potential teachers and schools.

And of course, we have set up our blog, in readiness for September.
