As a subject sitting outside of the core national curriculum framework Drama offers teachers a range of opportunities to demonstrate their contribution to the holistic education of every young person.

Work with the department can be planned to take place over a single day or a series of separate consultancy visits. Advisory activities would be planned to meet the needs of all stakeholders. To support schools to make the most of a consultancy visit a tiered offer is available:
