Our Relationship Education programme runs on a two-year cycle (Cycle A and B). Each year, we will deliver three theatre-in-education resources for Years 1 to 6 over the course of one day (or two days for schools with three-form entry or more).

YEARS 5 & 6

CYCLE A

Hurt by a series of knockbacks including failed school tests, an inability to mix well with other children and a lack of self-esteem, Sasha doesn’t have a very high opinion of herself. However, as her Grandpa returns home from hospital with a new pacemaker and a new lease of life, he takes it upon himself to ensure that he is not the only one with a healthy heart.

HEALTHY HEART is a sensitive story about friendship, bullying and self-esteem which helps children to appreciate their own innate dignity and worth.

CYCLE B

It is the summer holidays and Nathan has been told that he must leave home and stay with relatives for a few weeks. However, what starts out as an adventure for Nathan soon turns into something much more serious as he realises that matters at home are not as perfect as he thought they were and his future starts to look uncertain...

MIND THE GAP is a story about coping with change: changes in circumstances, in relationships and in self. It enables children to look to their futures with confidence and purpose.
