The Jeremy Lemmon Project was established to support drama training, creative collaboration and access to higher education across secondary schools in the Borough of Harrow. In 2020, the partnership brought together Harrow boys, students from three secondary schools in the borough – High School, and – and practitioners from Shakespeare’s Globe theatre.

Workshops originally planned were to focus on building an ensemble and accessing and exploring Shakespeare’s language for a collaborative performance. The young company members, many of whom aim to pursue formal actor training, or university pathways linked to drama and literature, were to also benefit from individual coaching sessions to develop their monologue performance skills. Finally, they would take to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse stage to showcase their work in front of a live ART FOR WELLBEING audience. Only one of these workshops took place before the coronavirus lockdown. Working AT GRANGE PRIMARY WOODLANDS SCHOOL closely with each school, a new online version Teacher’s perspective Woodlands Primary School in is a of the project was developed, and the event planned for the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse took It can be difficult to meet the needs of a range maintained primary school for pupils aged place digitally with an invited online audience. of pupils with SEND at our school.
