Popular KS1 Workshops

Now in our 30th year, we’re proud to have worked with over 6,000 schools across the UK, delivering curriculum-linked KS2 workshops that bring learning to life through drama. With over 150 unique sessions in our repertoire, some topics have truly captured imaginations and become long-standing favourites with pupils and teachers alike.

Meet the inspiring Florence Nightingale, step back in time to meet an eye witness to the Great Fire of London, or join our globetrotting Earth Explorer on an epic tour of 7 continents and 5 oceans. These workshops combine storytelling, movement and role-play to ignite imaginations and embed learning.

The children were all incredibly engaged in all aspects of the workshop and learned so much. They have recalled their learning everyday with excitement since and will tell anyone who will listen.
