Schools - What we offer

Freshwater Theatre Company have been delivering drama activities to support the primary curriculum since 1996.

As one of the largest theatre-in-education companies in the UK, we provide high quality drama activities to support history, geography and science, as well as provision for Modern Foreign Languages, maths and cross-curricular topics. We also have a variety of story workshops and large group storytelling activities.

  • Our interactive group sessions involve one facilitator visiting the school and working with a class of up to 30 children at a time for one hour. These sessions use a variety of drama activities to explore the topic.

  • Our large group activities involve one facilitator visiting the school and working with up to 120 children at a time for one hour. These sessions involve interactive storytelling in which every child will feel involved.

  • Our history shows involve two facilitators visiting your school with a small set, and working with up to 120 children at a time for 80 minutes. The children will take part in solving tasks related to the historical time period.
