Workshops for PPA Cover
Chain Reaction Theatre Company can provide primary schools with top-quality, interactive, issue-based drama and arts workshops for PPA cover. These curriculum-enhancing enrichment activities are run by experienced, CRB-checked facilitators.
We know that many schools want to provide more creative and physically active learning opportunities for their pupils whilst teachers are engaged in Planning, Preparation and Assessment time. Our flexible, creative sessions can explore key aspects of the PSHEE curriculum and SEAL, and work in line with your Healthy Schools programme and the Every Child Matters outcomes.
We can tailor these workshops to meet your specific requirements, and ensure your pupils are cared for, educated, engaged and having fun through learning. To talk to us about how we can help you, call now on 020 8534 0007 or get in touch.
