Bring Your Curriculum to Life With MTA

PPA: Our PPA cover will bring an enhanced arts programme to your school and at the same time also cover your chosen N.C. topics.

Your School can engaged our specialists for a whole year or a half term of PPA or curriculum enhancement to bring an arts programme that will energise the children and fit snugly in with National Curriculum requirements. Each half or full term can be tailored to fit your exact individual  requirements and we cover many cross-curricular topics and skills, focusing on a practical, physical approach to learning.

Through this approach we cover topics such as storytelling and story structure, improvisation, character, critical analysis, copying, remembering and repeating dance moves, choreography, different dance styles, voice production and control, group singing, different music styles, melody and harmony and much more. Our lessons, though, benefit pupils in many other ways, such as increasing self awareness and self confidence, improving ability to work uncompetitively as part of a group, mutual support, physical fitness and a great deal of other social benefits.

Facilitator in Role: The class will be captivated when our artists visit your school. They will be in character role such as Guy Fawkes, Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole, or even the most famous of all Captain Dirk Apollo.

Taking the class on a mesmeric journey of the times and/or events that shaped their life, our facilitator will workshop the class through drama role play and often using props the children perform key moments to fully interact and immerse in the subject. Or in the case of Captain Apollo solve the maths problems to save Earth from the Evil Diablo.

Our Facilitators have years of experience, are specialists in the performing arts and bring a great deal of subject-specific knowledge into the classroom. They are of course regularly DBS checked, insured and very reliable. Regarding PPA, in the rare case of absence, we supply a skilled replacement teacher so we always have you covered.

    • The Mainstream Theatre Arts company has provided our pupils with excellent opportunities to develop a wide range of skills. I have seen considerable changes in pupil confidence, self-esteem and performance skills with dramatic improvements in their acting skills. The comprehensive modules have culminated in fantastic performances which have been shared and celebrated with both parents and staff. I would wholeheartedly recommend the company to deliver both quality curricular and extra-curricular performing arts education.

    • Mainstream Drama provides a rich variety of learning-based activities for children across the primary range. Punctual and consistent support by a single instructor has enabled children to gain maximum enjoyment and make good progress with their learning. Adding focused drama lessons to our curriculum has allowed us to provide a quality learning opportunity for our children in addition to freeing up staff time for planning and preparation.

    • We have had provision from Mainstream for over ten years. In that time we have been extremely pleased with the level of service provided. Providers come in to deliver drama and singing classes with the children during school times as part of our PPA cover and for after school activities. The service is reliable and on the odd occasion when our usual teacher is unavailable there is a replacement. Staff are ready to listen to requests. Work is tailored to fit in with current topics so that we have cross curricular teaching. During classes children are able to shine in different ways so enhancing their confidence and enjoyment of school.
