Learn About Our Assembly Style Format

We provide different formats of our programmes to suit your needs.

If we are in a small primary school or a pupil referral unit then we can run classroom based sessions where we run the performance and discussion workshop with a class sized group.

If we are working in a large secondary school, we can run days when we deliver the drama to the whole year group and then break into class sized workshops throughout the rest of the day.

We also provide a format where we deliver to a whole year group in an assembly style format. This approach may lack the discussion workshops but is an option where time or budget (or both) is tight.

The assembly style format has some very practical advantages. The cost is lower as we can reach all of your students in a year at once in just an hour. The students get all of the drama performance, they get to interact in a Q&A with the characters, explore new concepts and learn new definitions and leave knowing about where they can get further support in and out of school.

Practically, we only need the hall or large space for a small part of the day. It takes us very little time to pack up and so we can be in and out of school by 10:30 am! You can reduce staff time out too as they are only needed for a short part of the day.

In addition to the delivery on the day, each venue that books this format also gets

• Access to over 100 free lesson plans. Schools can use the lesson plans we provide for teachers to run related activities throughout the day for the other simultaneous workshops.
• Access to free online training sessions on RSHE / RHE delivery.
• Support and updates on RSHE / RSHE and safeguarding.
• Early notification and access to booking new programmes or new resources.
• Support and ideas on using the work as part of their Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) work, cultural capital, school culture and behaviour initiatives.

This format minimises disruption to the school day. The cost for all of the above, using the assembly style format, for a typical year group of 200 works out at less than £4 per student.*

Some schools take the opportunity to have multiple assembly sessions in a day. This is particularly good for saving money if we have to travel a long way to get to you. Schools can reduce any travel costs, block the hall out for a day and then have up to 3 different assembly sessions across the day. This could help very large schools or schools who want to cover 2 different year groups and sessions all in a single day.

*All sessions are sold per session and not based on numbers who attend. Figure for illustrative purposes to show typical break down for a group of 200 students. Price may be higher for schools that require additional travel or accommodation due to distance from our base.
