This webinar will equip headteachers, curriculum leaders, subject leaders and teachers and practitioners with the knowledge and skills to evaluate current drama provision, and design a bold and coherent curriculum which best equips their pupils for future success, aligned with Ofsted expectations.

Including drama as part of a broad and balanced curriculum can support students to develop skills in teamwork, leadership and risk-taking. Drama can stimulate imagination and creativity and the curriculum can be shaped to truly reflect the specific needs of pupils, particularly the most disadvantaged, and those with SEND and high needs. The process of careful evaluation of intent also helps schools prepare for the possibility of an Ofsted ‘deep dive’.

In this webinar, John Rainer encourages teachers to reflect on curriculum options within the context of their own setting, introduces the most up-to-date pedagogical ideas and resources to enhance provision, and highlights the importance of engaging all staff in the rationale for curriculum design to enhance consistent and effective delivery.
