Why DramEd Matters
The Research is Clear...
Creativity isn’t a luxury — it’s a cornerstone of how children learn, think, and grow. Yet access to quality performing arts in early years and primary education is shrinking. That’s where DramEd makes the difference.
The Challenge
Children in more deprived areas are half as likely to experience structured arts or drama sessions outside of school.
→ DramEd bridges that gap by bringing high-quality performing arts directly into nurseries and primary classrooms, making creativity accessible to every child.Arts participation can lead to around 3 extra months of progress in literacy and numeracy (Education Endowment Foundation).
→ We design every DramEd session to strengthen core learning through drama — helping children grasp ideas faster and remember them longer.Ofsted’s 2024 “Best Start in Life” report highlights Expressive Arts and Design as key to giving children “breadth and richness” in learning.
→ Our EYFS-aligned programmes deliver exactly that — enriching your curriculum while keeping learning joyful, imaginative, and meaningful.

The Impact
Confidence grows: 100% of educators report children becoming more expressive and engaged after DramEd sessions.
Learning deepens: Drama turns abstract ideas into tangible, memorable experiences — from counting songs to empathy-building role play.
Joy spreads: Children leave our sessions buzzing with creativity — and teachers gain simple tools they can use long after we’ve gone.
DramEd exists to close the creativity gap — giving every child the chance to learn through movement, story, and imagination, no matter where they start.
What people are saying about DramEd....
"We have engaged Grace Francis and her company, DramEd, to enhance the delivery of our planned storytelling. Each week Grace liaises with our QTS in order to maximise the learning opportunities leading on from the planned story and to give feedback as early as possible to improve the learning outcomes for our group of children. I would thoroughly recommend DramEd to any similar Childcare establishment"

“Our girls loved having DramEd in to work with them. Their activities were exciting and engaging from start to finish. Grace has a natural ability to bring out the best in children it was wonderful to see our girls thrive. Thanks for coming”.
Rebecca CoxSt Helen's Indepedent Girls School 
“From the moment you entered the room, the children were absolutely enthralled by your creative and engaging method of delivery. Each child regardless of their ability, cultural background or level of English beamed with joy while interacting with you and working their way through the story. You turned everyday learning into a magical experience. One of the teachers said it was like watching an actress on television.”
