What happens in the Club?
Every school is unique and our syllabus is tailored to fit the individual needs of each venue. Below is a general outline of our classes.
Autumn Term
In the first term of the academic year we focus on using drama to develop social skills such as good listening, confident voices and empathy. The classes are a fun mixture of drama games, songs, movement and improvisation.
Spring Term
In the Spring Term we build on this to work towards a performance – learning songs, poems and dialogue improves students’ literacy skills and builds academic confidence. The experience of performing together creates a very powerful sense of achievement.
Summer Term
In the Summer Term our pupils follow the LAMDA performance poetry syllabus, with an optional exam at the end of term. Our brilliant results speak for themselves, last year 84% were awarded distinctions and 16% received Merits. With learning poems at the heart of the new curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2 this is a fun way of getting children excited by language (and can earn your children UCAS points)

ADVENTURES IN TOYLAND
Impress your friends with a show performed especially for your child and his/her guests.
Our show “Adventures in Toyland” is colourful, funny and ultimately irresistible to children, with in-built opportunities to join in.
It has been written to suit the very young (2 to 7yrs) as well as being enjoyable for parents and older siblings.
We have designed the show so that it can fit in a small space if required (your sitting room). This is the ideal opportunity to introduce your child to the joy of “live theatre” without having to negotiate the additional stress of box office bookings, traffic, parking etc.
NB:We require advance booking of TOYLAND as we need to schedule in rehearsals for our professional Actors.
£1500
