The power of drama and imaginative play
Drama is one of the most powerful ways to develop life skills. Pretend play accelerates language, nurtures empathy, builds confidence and teaches children about the world. It targets teamwork and builds resilience and self-esteem. Our classes meet the current requirements of the National Curriculum, specifically the three Prime Areas of Learning: Communication and language, Personal, social and emotional development, and Physical skills.
