London Drama in the Primary and Foundation Years

Primary and Foundation Years

With the conclusion of two new reports on Primary education indicating that schools need to increase their creativity and integrate subjects, drama is coming into its own as an inspiration for teachers and pupils alike.

If you wonder just what drama can do for you, London Drama can be of assistance with person to person advice and courses to get you started in practical tried and tested classroom drama. If you already use drama we can provide opportunities for you to extend your own drama practice and share ideas with other teachers through our workshops or our Discussion Forum.

We watch out for new views and ideas on primary and early years drama, flagging up interesting information from the DCSF or research. We have members with extensive experience of the Arts Mark Scheme, so if your school is planning to apply for Arts Mark we can help with in-school reviews and give an idea of how your application might add up. If a school is a member of a professional subject association like London Drama it does add weight to applications.

Our bookshop has a range of Primary books, from those generally about drama techniques suitable for our age group in the classroom to books on those tricky areas of assembly or performances. We also stock books with specific content such as teaching literacy through drama.
 
Many of the London theatres with education departments inform us of their forthcoming shows and workshops. These may be of interest to you as outings for your pupils or to provide information for you to hand on to parents for suitable shows.
