Art and Drama Primary School Workshops

Our unique in-school workshops combine ‘both’ art and drama and are designed to enhance all levels of the Primary Curriculum.

Each workshop brings to life a topic or theme through the use of exciting 2D and 3D art projects, drama exercises, music, costume and acting. Pupils can re-enact historical events, create giant backdrops for their school hall, put on a fantastic puppet show and much more!

Workshops can be delivered to a single class, a year group or a whole school. Finished results can be in the form of a school assembly performance, an in-school exhibition or a overall celebration of your schools creativity.

Workshops cover three areas of the curriculum. These are as follows:

  • History

  • Cultural and environmental Studies

  • Literacy
