INSET Workshops

Using drama to inspire creative ways of teaching

Perform For Schools INSET workshops have been developed to provide a focused and inspiring set of skills, best practices and resources on the use of drama to inspire creative ways of teaching across the curriculum.

Literacy INSET - This workshop focuses on ways that teachers can develop literacy skills across the curriculum using drama. Whether in Maths, History, Geography or Science, drama offers multiple ways to link topics with reading and writing improvement. Includes producing comprehensive visual resources and worksheets on your choice of topics.

Creative Learning INSET - This workshop helps teachers use drama as a creative way of teaching across the curriculum. It provides a set of skills, best practices and resources and is available in Basic (for teachers who have never used drama in the classroom before) and Advanced modules.

Both workshops include detailed information, advice and examples of physical and vocal warm-ups, ice-breaker games, control commands, role-play improvisation exercises and movement expression.

Our term time INSET workshops are available during school hours or as twilight sessions. For more information or to book, click here to contact us or book online.

The session was so much fun, one of the children invited Rhia to her birthday party!

Very engaging, great pace and consistent expectations so everyone got as much out of the session as possible. All the children were able to focus and join in, trickier words and unfamiliar concepts were well anticipated and explained.

Thanks!

The children as always LOVED the workshop. It was so lovely to have the pre-school and even year 3 involved this time and I know the staff who hadn't been in the sessions before really enjoyed them. They also came to me and said how great they were for the classes and how each session was pitched at just the right level for their age range. Thank you!!

Lelda was fantastic and the children had the most wonderful time being pirates! She was very organized before the session and contacted me to ask if there was anything I needed to ask or any information that would be helpful to her. She had a wonderful manner with the children and they were so engaged throughout the workshop.

Carl was excellent, my staff here at school were really impressed with the session and the children were fully engaged even when I had to leave half way through the session briefly.

Jordan is a fantastic drama teacher who engaged the children from the moment they stepped into the room. He was engaging, highly motivated and truly captured the children's imagination. There was a real buzz in the school after he left and the children went on to use their new skills out in the playground. I would highly recommend Jordan and will welcome him back with open arms.

The children always have a brilliant time when the leaders from Perform come to school. They are always very excited during the workshop, and it is fantastic to see them come out of their shell performing together!
