Highly-qualified, specialist teachers to enhance your curriculum & solve your PPA

...with the leaders for performing arts provision

For over 25 years, Mainstream Theatre Arts has been providing first class tuition in performing arts subjects. Our highly-qualified specialist teachers conduct challenging, fun, educational classes in drama, dance and musical theatre throughout the year both in our private schools and in a large number of schools in the state education sector across the north west.

We are the first point of contact for all schools seeking specialist teachers for performing arts education.

General curriculum, PPA cover, clubs & special projects

Our specialist teachers work in schools throughout the north west delivering regular weekly classes in dance, drama and musical theatre, special projects ranging from a full day to a term based on special topics or themes and performing-arts-based breakfast and after-school clubs.

We can tailor packages to suit your budget for regular half days, full days or more, with lessons for all key stages.

Linked to the National Curriculum & Citizenship

”Mainstream has been involved with Manor Green for several years. The quality of dance has improved tremendously. During the past two years, our main focus has been on drama, and Mainstream has again provided a superb member of staff to deliver quality lessons to all year groups throughout the school. There has been a significant improvement in the quality of the children’s speaking, drama and role play in class assemblies and school concerts. The after-school Theatre Workshop club (music, dance and drama) is extremely popular.”

All of Mainstream’s work in schools is based on a specially-devised curriculum created by our theatre education experts. Our curriculum includes many elements of the National Curriculum and the National Literacy Strategy as well as the recommendations in Drama In Schools from the Arts Council of England and our company’s twenty-five-year experience of providing performing arts education.

Although our classes are grounded in this recognised academic base, we add many more ingredients from the curriculum we teach in our own performing arts school classes—practical skills in a wide variety of areas of drama, dance and singing that are essential to give a solid introduction to performing skills in a disciplined but enjoyable practical format.

Performing arts are valid subjects for academic study and as sets of skills that can be enjoyable and challenging to learn. They also provide numerous benefits to students in many other areas, from elements of subjects that are included on the NC to social skills, dealing with difficult issues in a safe format, learning how to work non-competitively as a group, creativity, objective criticism, fitness and health, posture, verbal and physical expression and many other skills that are directly transferable both to the academic environment and to life in general.

Our PPA cover lessons are based on exactly the same syllabus as our non-PPA curricular work, and so, whatever your reasons for bringing Mainstream into your classrooms, you can be sure that your pupils will be getting exactly the same benefits.
