What do other schools say?

It was very relevant, some of the children showed great acting skills. The children were encouraged to act and express themselves. We liked that different ways of acting were introduced that suited all the children's abilities. What a fantastic session! I loved the way children were able to act and ones who were usually shy did some amazing work. Brilliant! - Christ Church, Kent.
