Secondary schools currently are not required to include Drama in their KS3 curriculum, meaning that across England there are young people who are missing out on the wealth of benefits that engaging in a Drama curriculum can bring.

Regular participation in Drama can not only help develop key life skills including confidence, empathy, problem-solving, leadership and many more, but can have a positive impact on the mental health of young people.
