Year 2-6 Drama for Literacy club
Designed both for budding performers and those who would like to help develop confidence or overcome anxiety.
Using a diverse range of carefully curated age/curriculum appropriate literature, we explore stories through the medium of Drama and performance. Exploration may include themes, characters, structure, grammatical forms… wherever the wind takes us. This can be tailored to your current student need or to support texts you are studying in class, upon request.
Flexible term dates and lengths to meet your requirements (for example, an 8 week term will be charged at £52 per student).
Based at one of the UK’s oldest and most prestigious Drama Schools LAMDA exams are designed to develop the skills and knowledge required to develop confident communicators and performers.
LAMDA exams can help develop:
All LAMDA classes will enhance both performance and communication skills by paying particular attention to pronunciation, clarity of diction and audibility, exploration of ideas and expression – all in a safe and supportive environment. Children will grow in confidence and boost self esteem whilst learning theory around their given topic, subject or skill.
Students will then have the opportunity to work towards their LAMDA exam and achieve accreditation*

We can offer bespoke PPA cover to alleviate the pressure on your hard working team, whilst delivering enriching performance based content to support your school’s individual development plan.
Students will develop their confidence and communication skills with demonstrable outcomes.
There is scope to include a performance opportunity at the conclusion of the sessions to impress your parents and give your students a focus and sense of achievement. This can be in the form of an informal presentation, an assembly or an invited day-time performance, whichever best suits your schools needs or time constraints.
Allow us to support you to implement Drama into your Primary curriculum without the pressure of planning and preparing lessons.
Use our expertise to develop a bespoke programme, designed for your student’s individual needs, which allows them to stretch their creative muscles and
Similar to our Afterschool programme we can design our classes to meet curriculum or student needs, so if you are studying a particular piece of literature or theme or even Historical event, we can use Drama to enrich and deepen their understanding.
Alternatively we can focus solely on the benefits of Drama- in using games and activities to develop confidence, combat anxiety, build resilience and support relationship… all whilst having the best time!
Does the idea of running a production fill you with dread?
We take the stress out of school productions, allowing you to focus on what matters most, your students. Our all-inclusive production services are designed to significantly reduce your workload while bringing professional expertise to every aspect of your chosen show. Whether it’s the annual school production or the Christmas Nativity/Play, we manage everything from script development to stage design, lighting, and sound, so you don’t have to. We will collaborate closely with your staff and students, ensuring a smooth, polished, and memorable performance.
With a range of options available from support/assistance to the complete producer package, let us handle the details, so you can enjoy the show!
Take a different approach to Literacy and English lessons. By removing learners from the conventional classroom environment and onto the stage (or school hall, breakout space, sports hall) you can encourage them to stretch their legs whilst engaging their brains.
We can take curriculum appropriate texts, themes or even grammar techniques and turn it into a fun, practical activity which enables your student’s to access it from a different angle, through exploration of plot, embodying characters, physicalising concepts and reimagining themes.
Popular workshops have included Story and Poetry days and abridged Shakespeare exploration (across all key stages).
This is a brilliant workshop for students who are creative, neurodiverse or engage better kinaesthetically.
Each workshop could be tailored for a half day (minimum three hours), full school day or regularly timetabled to be spread over a period of weeks (subject to availability)
As qualified Arts Award advisors we are proud to offer students the opportunity to participate in this nationally recognised qualification**.**
Arts Award is managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England. It enables students to gain recognition through individual creative development and can be adapted to student’s own interests and abilities or National Curriculum themes. The programme has two strands – Arts Practice and Arts Leadership- and students must gather evidence of their creative and skills development, with full support and clear guidance from us, which they then present as a portfolio.
This course involves both written and practical elements and will culminate in a group performance, which supports the project theme.
Once students have successfully completed their portfolios they will be internally assessed by ourselves and then externally moderated by Trinity College London.
There are no entry requirements and are awarded at Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. The Gold Arts Award is recognised on the UCAS (University and College Admission Service) points system. When students have successfully completed their portfolios and have been assessed by an Arts Award Adviser, they are required to be moderated by an external moderator.
