"Thank you so much for coming into Tadley Primary School last week. Whilst working in my office all I could hear was the noise of children having fun.  We were so impressed with the way you managed to get the least confident children to come out of their shells.  The children thoroughly enjoyed working with you."

Serveral schools in Reading and Basingstoke have already taken up the opportunity to have a workshop run by the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy. They have all really enjoyed the experience and found it to be a benefit to the children.

If your child is currently enroled with Helen O'Grady just ask your school to contact me and we will sort it out!

We understand, since 2005, the government requires all schools to release their teachers on a regular basis for planning, preparation and assessment time. The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy is able to offer a programme of study, delivered by a qualified and experienced teacher over a period of time.  Our unique curriculum is structured to improve children’s confidence and verbal communication, through exciting drama lessons.

We will attend your school on a weekly basis to teach one or more classes throughout the term. A series of ten or more lessons can culminate in a short presentation for the school and/or parents.

There are different lessons for infant and junior children – Lower Primary for children 5 to 8 years (Y1-Y3), and Upper Primary for children 9 to 11 years (Y4-Y6). With a four year cycle, children can join the Academy at 5 years old and leave at 17, without ever repeating a lesson.
