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.
All schools and organisations who book the assembly format, also get access to a bank of online lesson plans. This means that whilst they miss out on discussions facilitated by our Actor / Facilitators, they can still explore the issues and drama through the follow up resources in their RHE / RSHE lessons.
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.
