This Summer Term, we were delighted to be invited back to Langley Park Primary School in Bromley to deliver a bespoke Creative Achievers project, focusing on improving Oracy skills.
We first worked with the school in Spring 2022, exploring Poetry with the aim of devising and delivering a series of creative, interactive drama sessions for a targeted group of learners, focusing on oracy, confidence, and performance skills. Thirty children participated in the sessions which took place over six weeks, working with not one but SIX fabulous Bigfooters as well as their own teachers.
We were then thrilled to be asked to deliver a second project in Summer Term 2023, working with several of the same children to build upon the progress pupils had made the year before, with an enhanced focus on spoken ability, script work and performance skills. We worked closely with the school to carefully curate a content that had impactful, measurable outcomes in a short space of time and it was decided that this year we would use the stories of Anansi as a stimulus for the project.

Project Lead Adrian Benn commented:
The children really valued the praise and acknowledgement for all their hard work over the project. The fact that they had the confidence to stand up in front of a crowd and perform. Watching a few of the students conquer their fears to stand up was really powerful.
