Additional Information for Teachers

Teacher Resource Packs
These production-based resource packs include everything you need to create fantastic follow-up activities for your class. They contain background information about the production themes, ideas for classroom activities and discussions, and often objects designed to provide sensory stimulation for students to inspire them to think further about the production. Packs come in a variety of formats, from activity boxes to CD ROM, as appropriate.

Work Experience for Students
During a work experience placement, a student will assist in various different departments of the theatre in order to get an overall view of how a theatre works.

Trident Trust allocates the majority of our placements to Merton school students and should be contacted directly on 020 7440 9170. However, there are a few additional places available for GCSE, NVQ, A Level, IB, Undergraduate and Postgraduate students. We also offer work shadowing placements for PGCE students

Places are limited! Book early to avoid disappointment! Contact the Education Department on 020 8545 8326 for details.

If you are interested in doing a practical work experience with the production department, there are also limited places available. Please contact the Production Manager on 020 8545 8320 for details.
