The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has enhanced its educational programme for Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical with an updated pack of teaching resources and new planning guides. Schools can request a free education pack that contains two educational resources that focus on a character and plot, a bookmark, a certificate and lots of information about the production.

As I leaf through the pack it is evident that this was created by a teacher, for a teacher, as it is ready for the classroom and can be easily adapted to suit the needs of different classes. There are suggestions on what segments of the website teachers should browse prior to the lesson, and reflection exercises to cement the findings of each activity with students.
