Schools Outreach

  • School Teacher

    β€œThe children were able to relate to different emotions they feel at times and understand that it is ok not to feel on top of the world every day. They also built their oracy skills through some good speaking and listening challenges.”

  • School Teacher

    β€œCallum's enthusiastic delivery which was adapted to suit our children on the spot. He ensured nobody felt isolated or uncomfortable; everyone was free to express themselves.”

  • School Teacher

    β€œThe delivery from Callum as a whole. He fully engaged the children throughout through various games and activities and had the children in the palm of his hand.”

  • School Teacher

    β€œIn one particular circle activity, Callum encouraged the children to consider something that makes them β€˜special’. When some children gave answers that were less relevant or weren’t necessarily about them as individuals, he challenged them by encouraging them to re-think and comment solely about themselves. This was an excellent PSHE activity that we referred back to after the session.”

  • School Teacher

    β€œCallum fully engaged with the children resulting in the whole class enjoying the drama workshop. He was entertaining and knowledgeable about his subject. This made the whole experience a delight for the year 5 children involved.”

  • School Teacher

    β€œOne child who is usually quite quiet and reserved and lacks enthusiasm came alive during the workshop, doing everything that Callum asked. It has brought out a side of him no one knew he had. It also benefitted our school production. The children came to their rehearsals with much more stage presence after the workshop.”

  • School Teacher

    β€œHow it was fun. Children who are normally very reserved totally came out of themselves and it was lovely to see how drama really engaged them. Great pace. Callum was so much fun.”

Real-World Impact:  
 
Respect & Empathy: One school wanted to address rough play and bullying among boys. We created a workshop that sparked meaningful discussions on respect and kindness. 

Bringing Literature to Life: Another school integrated our workshop into their literature curriculum, using drama techniques to explore themes and characters in new ways. 

We’re happy to adapt our workshops to support PSHE, academic subjects, or specific school challenges. Let’s chat about how we can create the perfect session for your students! Get in touch today.
