The services that we can provide fall into 3 main categories. Performances, workshops and training sessions can be booked individually, or as half and full day packages. Our packages are tailored to match your school's needs. Please contact us for further information, or to make enquiries about services not listed here that you would like us to carry out for your school or organisation.

We bring Children’s Theatre and Theatre In Education (T.I.E.) performances into primary schools. Our performances provide an experience of the Arts for the children, and enhance their learning across the curriculum, as the performances are clearly linked to learning objectives for each Key Stage.
We have two set performances per term, one for Key Stage 1, and one for Key Stage 2. We have devised these based on some of the Literacy objectives for each term.
Each performance comes into school with a preparation pack, to inform teachers as to which objectives we will be covering, in order for them to be able to prepare the children for the performance and to inform their follow-on planning.
Planning suggestions for follow-up work for each Year group within the Key Stage are provided with each performance, in order for the children to create detailed pieces of writing inspired by the performance, and also by the workshops as part of their Literacy lessons following on from our visit to your school.
We can create bespoke performances for your school if you have a specific need in mind, for example, a particular issue that your school improvement plan is focusing on, or if you would like a performance aimed at a Nursery class. These can either be based on a curriculum area, a specific theme, or can be purely story-based simply to give the children experience of the Arts.

Each of our performances has a Key Stage appropriate workshop which we can take with one class at a time to follow on from the performances.
The workshops allow the children to use practical drama techniques to enhance their understanding of the performances that they have seen.
The children use our support to work independently and co-operatively to create their own pieces of drama.
Through working together in our workshops, children have a chance to improve their social skills, confidence and speaking and listening skills through the use of drama.

We provide full day, half day or twilight INSET sessions for teaching and support staff in schools, or for Headteachers to disseminate to their staff.
These can be ‘chalk and talk’ giving practical ideas to staff, workshop-based where staff have a chance to experience practical drama techniques for themselves by having the opportunity to try them out, or a combination of the two, based on your staff’s needs.
