National Curriculum English KS2: Romeo and Juliet

'The adaptation is intended to be broadly suitable for upper KS2 - that is, pupils aged 9 years old and above. However, be aware that the content deals with a number of sensitive issues including deaths during street fighting and suicide. Teachers should ensure they have watched any content they intend to share with their group in order to assess its suitability.

There is a comprehensive set of Romeo and Juliet KS2 Teacher Notes to accompany the adaptations. The other additional resources include:

• a transcript for each episode - which can be found on the individual episode pages

• a visual reminder of the characters, their names and family groupings

• a sequencing activity to help pupils recall the order of events in the play'.
