Romeo & Juliet

This page supports the teaching and study of Romeo and Juliet, providing a range of resources to help Key Stage 3 students engage confidently with Shakespeare’s language, characters, and themes. Designed for both teachers and learners, the materials support close reading, vocabulary development, and structured analytical discussion across the play.

With a focus on building understanding and interpretation, this page explores key ideas such as love, conflict, fate, and family, while guiding students through Shakespeare’s use of dramatic methods, including structure, imagery, and characterisation. Scaffolded activities and modelled approaches help learners move from basic comprehension to thoughtful analysis of how meaning is created on stage. Ideal for classroom teaching, homework, or independent study, this resource hub offers a clear and accessible framework for KS3 and KS4 students studying Romeo and Juliet, helping them develop confidence in reading Shakespeare and writing about drama with precision and insight.
