After-School Drama Clubs and Workshops for Primary Schools
Theatre craft, with a learning purpose.
Drama-led learning for KS1 and KS2.
At DramEd, we bring the techniques of theatre into primary schools. Pupils develop confidence, communication and creative thinking through structured drama, delivered by trained DramEd practitioners.
From weekly after-school clubs to curriculum workshops, every session has a clear learning purpose.
Looking for sessions for children aged 2 to 5? See our nursery programmes.
After-School Drama Clubs
More than a drama club. A space to create, explore and grow.
Our KS1 and KS2 clubs introduce children to the craft of theatre: character, voice, improvisation, movement and ensemble work.
Each session is carefully structured to build real theatrical skills, while leaving room for children's own ideas to shape what happens next.
Whether they're stepping into a character, creating a scene together or finding the courage to share an idea, children become active contributors to the creative process.
What children develop
- Confidence and self-expression
- Sharing ideas and taking creative risks.
- Speaking and listening
- Expressing themselves clearly and responding to others.
- Performance skills
- Voice, presence and working in front of an audience.
- Collaboration
- Negotiating choices and contributing to an ensemble.
- Empathy and perspective
- Understanding how others think and feel through role.
Enquire about an after-school club"DramEd has been an integral part of our extracurricular club offer. We have been using their services for many years now... Having a specialist performing arts teacher such as Grace has greatly impacted the children's confidence, expanded their imagination and empowered them to develop their emotional wellbeing."

Curriculum Drama Workshops
Bring your curriculum to life through drama.
Some subjects become more meaningful when children can step inside them.
DramEd workshops support the English curriculum, including spoken language, and bring class texts, history topics and PSHE themes to life through drama.
Pupils might question a historical figure in role, explore a class text through dramatic decision-making, or use improvisation to deepen their understanding of a theme.
Each workshop is built around your learning objectives.
"It extended and enriched as well as supported the teaching goals of my class. An experience they and myself will never forget!"
