INSET Training
We offer a range of INSET training programmes for primary schools, demonstrating practical ways to use the creative and performing arts within the curriculum, while promoting creativity in your schemes of work and lesson plans. Use of the performing arts will help your pupils engage with their existing knowledge and skills, because they offer a fresh insight into events, particularly those of cultural or social significance. Drama also gives Teachers an approach for exploring cross-curricular subjects and issues. It also helps develop children's performance and presentation skills
Performing Arts
These workshops are designed to build confidence in teaching drama, dance & singing to pupils.They are aimed at teachers with little or no dance or drama experience, as well as those who already possess a good working knowledge of these subjects.
Anti Bullying Initiatives
The session will involve learning drama exercises that can be used either in isolation to combat one off instances or that can be used as on-going refresher courses to reiterate your anti-bullying policy.
Art
INSET days for Art are designed to address the needs of individual schools. Workshops can help you expand the range of projects on offer to your pupils and so greatly enhance their experience of art within your school. Training workshops will focus on empowering teachers to work with a number of techniques such as papier mache, mud rock, self-hardening clay work and other forms of sculpture. We can also examine painting/drawing techniques; the use of different paints, pastels and crayons; or working with recycled materials etc.
Dance
The INSET or staff training workshops are based on National Curriculum and Arts Council guidance on dance education. They identify key aspects of dance that need to be encouraged including:- acquiring and developing skills - selecting and applying skills - tactics and compositional ideas - evaluating and improving performance - knowledge of health & fitness.
Drama
Drama is a powerful tool that can be utilized to support creativity throughout the curriculum within Primary Education at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. It can also be a great springboard to access discussion and debate.
PSHE
Learn many of the techniques from forum and image theatre. These workshops are based on the work of director Augusto Boal, who designed a style known as theatre of the oppressed. This work is a superb springboard to discussion and debate. It stimulates an exchange of opinion, is accessible and encourages co-operation and respect.
