Drama that builds confident children.

Drama-led learning to support communication, confidence, listening and school readiness, while deepening children’s understanding of the topics they are exploring.

Drama Programmes for Nurseries and Schools

DramEd delivers participatory drama sessions where children step inside stories through movement, role play and imagination.

Our workshops support:

• Confidence and self-expression
• Communication and language development
• Creative thinking and collaboration

Sessions are designed for EYFS and primary school settings and align with early years and curriculum learning goals.

Participatory Drama

Every child has a role to play, creating a space where imagination, confidence and collaboration can grow.

02
Structured Sessions

Every DramEd session follows a clear structure designed to support learning. Activities build naturally from warm-up to storytelling, participation and reflection.

This ensures children feel safe, engaged and able to take creative risks.

Impactful Play

Play is one of the most powerful ways children learn. DramEd sessions use playful storytelling and imagination to explore ideas and emotions.

The result is learning that feels joyful, meaningful and memorable.

Client Reviews

“Working with DramEd is a dream! Our children love the sessions, as well as the practitioners. We find ourselves singing their songs all the time, as they’re so catchy and fun. The best result of working with DramEd is that all of my preschoolers have a better understanding of different maths concepts. They have been learning about weight recently, which has been fun and easy for them to understand. We often take the sessions that runs and incorporate her activities in to our room planning! We wouldn’t improve anything, other than wanting her here all the time! Thank you so much, from me, my team and my little preschoolers"

“My name is Rubina Syed and I am the Manager of Maria Montessori Nursery School. Over the years we have had numerous drama teachers who were experienced and perhaps not that experienced but always did a very good job of introducing 'drama' to the Early Years. However DramEd is something completely different. As soon as they stepped foot in our school it was as if sunshine had arrived, and we were flooded with happiness and positivity. They engage with all the children ranging at our school from the age of 2 to nearly 5 years old and are able to keep both their minds and bodies involved in the sessions. They incorporate our termly projects whether it is 'recycling' or a continent around the world so seamlessly and in such a fun way that children are eagerly absorbing the information. They even helped us with our annual Christmas play by supporting us with the weekly rehearsals and adding music to the songs we were singing. Both teachers and children look forward to their coming and are very excited to see where the drama session will take us in the imaginary world they beautifully create. Thank you so much DramEd — you are the best!"
