Drama enables pupils to express themselves creatively and imaginatively and to communicate with others effectively. As a school we want to give children the opportunity to use drama in many areas of the curriculum.

Drama in early years is structured around the activities which are already part of young children’s development. In Key Stage 1, Drama is used as a means of developing language skills, encouraging social interaction, increasing physical control, stimulating imagination and teaching children how to listen and respond appropriately. In Key Stage 2, children will role play in a much more sophisticated manner thus enabling them to explore contexts in a more focused way. They will be encouraged to respond to stimuli and be self aware enough to form opinions give reasons and assess their work constructively.
