Partner Schools
“ This partnership has created a real buzz in the school- thank you! We find that the in-depth partnership allows children to become confident and comfortable with an art form that many of them would not engage with otherwise- theatre and also puppetry! It inspires, engages and promotes a love of learning. We feel so lucky to be a part of it!”
Teacher – Sacred Heart School
We have an ongoing partnership with 8 Islington primary schools, providing every pupil with at least one free theatre visit every single year, as well as a wide offering of after school clubs and in-class workshops.
While social factors make these children particularly in need of the arts, financial barriers would typically prevent them from participating. This is because approximately 50% of pupils from our partner schools are eligible for free school meals, over 10% receive SEN support & 40% have English as an additional language. This, paired with stark government cuts on arts funding, means we are increasingly motivated to re-incorporate creativity into their curriculum.
Annually the partnership promises each school the following package:
- At least one theatre visit per year for every pupil in the school.
- At least one visiting production in the school.
- An after-school puppet club for targeted pupils (SEND, speech and language, social, low income).
- CPD Training sessions for teachers.
- Workshops for targeted year groups or classes and at school events.
- Opportunities to see and feed into work-in-progress.
- Direct behind the scenes access to industry specialists for advice, Q&As, educational resources and assemblies.
- Where funding allows, we have also been able to offer additional in-depth projects

“ Many of our children do not access local amenities, such as local theatres, and the arts unless they engage through school. we have a curriculum that values creativity and accessing a breadth of life experiences – and our link with little Angel Theatre forms a significant part of that offer”
Teacher – Winton Primary School
To continue making a difference in the lives of these children, we need your support as this partnership certainly isn’t without its costs. Every theatre visit, workshop, and after-school club requires significant resources, and so we rely heavily on fundraising to cover these expenses.
