Hello, we are Round Midnight LTD

We are Round Midnight, a multi award-winning Birmingham-based creative arts and ed-tech company. We tackle important subjects within personal, social, and health education using a unique combination of creative arts and virtual reality.

Our ethos is to challenge the status quo and communicate complex issues through the arts and technology.

We create bespoke packages that meet your individual school or organisation’s needs.

We deliver topics and focus areas for both Primary and Secondary Schools, as well as FE providers, and are invested in innovative practices that best engage participants.

Since 1992, we have worked with over 200,000 young people and ran projects in Birmingham, across the UK, and internationally.

Our small yet dedicated team love building productive relationships with children and young people and take pride in our ability to establish strong connections with schools and organisations across the UK.

We are called back time and time again to enhance the curriculum, deliver PSHE and Citizenship programs, and run training/CPD packages. We must be doing something right.

What makes Round Midnight special?

Close Relationship with Schools

We have a strong relationship with many schools and organisations throughout Birmingham and across the globe. We love communicating with different schools to create unique pieces, and working alongside schools to gather important research and insight.

Bespoke & Highly Flexible

We are able to create highly bespoke pieces that align with your individual interests or concerns. We can adapt pre-existing projects or develop an entirely new program that caters to your needs. This flexibility offers the best learning experience for all involved.

Founded in Research

We understand the importance of research to gain insight into the topics matter most to young people, and how best to engage them. In the past, we have worked and partnered with various prestigious companies and institutes, including University of Birmingham, and multiple schools throughout the U.K to gather important research.

Innovative & Engaging

We are always thinking of new and innovative ways to approach Theatre in Education and support the PSHE curriculum. To engage the young people of today, we must stay relevant and reactive to changing times. Take a look at our PSHE through Technology programs for more information.

Diversity of Projects

We offer a range of creative projects. We deliver Theatre in Education programs closely aligned with the PSHE curriculum, creative arts projects with a variety of age groups, engaging training programs, and innovate technology with theatre projects. So if you have an idea about something out of the box, we would love to hear from you!

We care

We are a small theatre company doing big things. At the heart of everything we do is a focus on helping educators and supporting young people. We love what we do, and this shows in every single meeting, programme, and performance.

Meet the Team

We say a team but, in reality, we are a family, always looking to use our extensive knowledge of creative arts and education to support others.

Claire and Stuart formed Round Midnight in 1992 and managed the company until 2012. During this time they established Round Midnight as one of the most highly regarded Theatre and Drama in Education organisations in Birmingham.

Due to their experience in high quality script-writing for young people and communities, they have since established themselves within the film and television industry.

Claire and Stuart have worked on various TV and film projects such as BBC, ITV network, and Sky. However, Claire and Stuart are still at the forefront of everything that Round Midnight does. Using their expertise, they continue to work in young people’s education and aid in developing our international programs.

Phil’s aim is to have a positive impact on people’s lives using the arts and make them smile in the process.
