Reach Up to 900 Students in One Day with Loudmouth's Assembly Format

Schools, colleges and universities are under increasing pressure to deliver important education around relationships, safeguarding, health and wellbeing, often with limited budgets and increasingly busy timetables.

At Loudmouth Education & Training, our assembly-style programmes offer a practical and affordable solution. By delivering up to three sessions in a single day, we can reach as many as 900 students, while keeping disruption and costs to a minimum.

And with prices starting from as little as £4 per student*, this can be a very cost-effective way to deliver engaging, interactive education to large groups.

1. Reach more students for less

One of the biggest advantages of our assembly-style format is the number of students we can reach in a relatively short space of time.

Each session lasts around an hour and can accommodate a whole year group of up to 300 students. Book three sessions in a day and that's potentially 900 young people taking part.

Every session includes a live drama performance, opportunities to interact with the characters through a Q&A, clear learning messages and information about where students can get further help and support.

While this format doesn't include our smaller discussion workshops, it provides an affordable way to introduce important topics and start conversations that can continue in the classroom.

2. Minimal disruption to the school day

Finding time for additional activities in an already packed timetable can be challenging.

Our assembly-style sessions are designed to fit around the school day, with each group of students only needing to be out of lessons for approximately an hour.

Schools can arrange for different year groups to attend sessions throughout the day, using the same hall or performance space. There is no need to reorganise an entire timetable or arrange multiple visits.

For teachers and support staff, this means less time coordinating activities and supervising students outside their usual lessons.

3. Different programmes for different year groups

Booking three sessions in a day doesn't mean delivering the same programme three times.

Schools can choose different Loudmouth programmes to suit the needs of different year groups.

For example, a secondary school could explore healthy relationships and consent with one year group, sexual harassment and misogyny with another, and exploitation or online safety with a third.

This allows schools to address several priorities in a single day, with age-appropriate content and clear learning objectives for each group.

Alternatively, larger schools can book repeat performances of the same programme to reach more students.

4. Save on travel costs and multiple visits

For schools and colleges further away from our Birmingham base, booking several sessions in a day can offer particularly good value.

Rather than arranging separate visits, with potential additional travel and accommodation costs, we can deliver up to three sessions during one visit.

It's a practical way to make the most of our time on site and help schools get better value from their budget.

This can be particularly beneficial for larger schools, multi-academy settings and colleges with several groups of students to reach.

5. A practical option for FE colleges and universities

Our assembly-style format isn't just for schools.

Further education colleges can use these sessions to engage large groups of students around issues such as healthy relationships, consent, sexual harassment, exploitation and personal safety.

For universities and higher education providers, assembly-style sessions can also form part of wider awareness-raising activities supporting their responsibilities under the Office for Students' Condition E6, which addresses harassment and sexual misconduct.

A live drama performance can bring these issues to life, helping students recognise inappropriate behaviours, understand boundaries and know where to access support.

Delivering to large groups in a single day offers a cost-effective way to complement an institution's existing training, policies and prevention work.

6. The learning continues after we've left

Our assembly-style sessions might last an hour, but the learning doesn't have to stop there.

Every booking also includes access to a range of additional support and resources, including:

• Over 150 lesson plans covering RSHE and related safeguarding topics.
• Free online training opportunities for staff.
• Resources and information to help reinforce important messages.
• Updates on RSHE guidance and emerging safeguarding issues.
• Ideas for linking the programmes to wider safeguarding, behaviour and school culture initiatives.

Schools can use these resources to explore the topics in greater depth, run follow-on activities and continue the conversations started during the performances.

Making your budget go further

Whether you're a secondary school looking to reach several year groups, a college planning a student awareness day or a university supporting its work to prevent sexual harassment, booking multiple assembly-style sessions can be a simple way to make your budget go further.

With up to three performances in a day, potentially reaching 900 students, schools and colleges can deliver important learning with minimal disruption and excellent value for money.

Assembly format sessions start from as little as £4 per student*, based on a typical group size, with the opportunity to make further efficiencies by booking multiple sessions in a single visit.
