In 2025 we continued relationships with Eastbank Academy, Saint Roch’s and Whitehill Secondary School and began new ones with St Andrews Academy in Carntyne and St Margaret
Mary’s Secondary School in Castlemilk.

If you are a teacher and planning ahead for Autumn 2026, then our Tron Theatre Company autumn production (to be announced) comes with a range of free resources designed to offer students an insight into the theatre making process, including:

• Teacher’s Insight session
• Pre or post-show workshops
• Inside the Rehearsal Room experience for pupils on the main stage with director and actors
• Access to our archive recording to support studying Higher/Advanced Higher Drama

TRON AMBASSADORS
Re-imagining the traditional work placement, Tron Ambassadors is a year-long, work experience programme for S4-S6 pupils interested in finding out about careers and training in the creative industries.

Activities include seeing and reviewing performances, back-stage tours and practical workshops where Ambassadors will work with different Tron departments, identifying and developing key creative and transferable skills for career pathways.  There is also the opportunity to work towards a nationally recognised qualification, either a Silver or Gold Arts Awards.

Recruitment for academic year 2026-27 will begin in June 2026.

TRON TAKE OVER
A project for young people to gain experience of working within the creative industries.

In 2026 we will work with ten schools from the east end of Glasgow who will each be offered two taster workshops open to S4, S5 and S6 pupils. Workshops will explore non-performance roles in the arts with a follow up CV workshop to identify transferable skills.

Everyone taking part in these workshops will have the opportunity to apply to be involved in the Tron Take Over project, through a ‘formal’ application process. This process will include shortlisting, a recruitment workshop and interview, and for successful applications, will lead to the offer of a role in the Tron Take Over. 

The Take Over group will work with The Snaw Queen team, exploring a range of backstage involved in bringing the pantomime to the stage, including writing, directing, stage management, design, sound design, marketing and front of house. Working alongside the Tron staff team, participants will ‘take over’ the Tron, delivering an extract from The Snaw Queen on stage, to parents, carers and teachers, as a curtain raiser to a special performance of the pantomime.

If you are interested in any of our opportunities for schools, please contact participation@tron.co.uk
