“I can’t believe how my pupils have developed in their speaking and listening skills since I started this programme. The thing that has struck me even more is seeing how they have grown in their confidence each term. I did this!” – Teacher, Riversdale Primary

In 2010 Bigfoot created a CPD drama programme for schools like no other!

The aim of the programme is to enable teachers to be magnificent at using drama in their teaching. This was never going to be achieved through a one off INSET session, and we had to give teachers the best possible resources to work with and also provide them with enough time and space to try out the work in practice. Also it had to be affordable for schools to buy into, and to top it all, it could not impact too much on teachers time!

So Bigfoot developed the Bigfoot Arts Club Network (BACN), the most truest way to help teachers and schools to integrate and embed drama into the schools learning culture, taking into account everything we said above! And we have now run the Bigfoot Arts Club Network in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Blackburn!

Schools can enrol onto BACN in their area at the start of each Academic year in the month of September, so you are all set to go for the Bigfoot journey ahead!

“When I taught my class using the skills I’d learned I felt truly alive! This is why I got into teaching, to make a difference. I can be that teacher that pupils remember in years to come” – Teacher, Holbeach Primary
