TIE & Arts in the Curriculum
We are the go to people for tackling prevalent PSHE subject matters such as knife crime, criminal exploitation, and inclusion through theatre in education and arts workshops.
All of our Theatre in Education packages align with the PSHE curriculum.
Our projects are based on in-depth research into young people’s needs and PSHE requirements.
We specialise in adapting existing projects or creating bespoke programmes to ensure your individual PSHE needs are met.
