We would like to express our admiration for the work you are doing in Leicestershire.  It is commendable and your values very much align with the work that our Learning and National Partnerships lead on within our Associate School Programme.  We very much hope that Grays Drama Academy will be in touch with our learning team for resources.

Dear Joanne Copeman, thanks for writing. I think the new directors of the Royal Shakespeare Company would be very interested, and perhaps helpful with your work.
