Drama is established as a component within the KS1 & KS2 English Curriculum. Using Drama helps to build the children's confidence, develops their social skills, and gives Teachers an approach for exploring cross-curricular subjects and issues. It also helps develop children's performance and presentation skills.

We can provide INSET Workshops for Teachers who wish to develop skills using Drama methods and structures, including teacher-in-role, across several aspects of the revised National Curriculum. We can work with up to 30 Teachers for one hour to one day in your school. We will tailor-make a programme to suit your needs and those of your pupils, for any year group.

Teacher-In-Role -
We specialise in Teacher-In-Role strategies to help pupils immerse themselves in the Drama, to create a deeper understanding of issues, creating & sustaining a role, using appropriate language while exploring & conveying situations, characters and emotions. (Drama KS1&2) With a bare minimum of props & costumes, you & your pupils can create a learning environment in your class using fail-safe Drama techniques to enhance the learning of all your pupils. We take you step-by-step through Teacher-In-Role techniques to give you a tried & tested structure on a curriculum area of your choice. We also offer ideas for follow-up work in the classroom ...
