Creative arts experts at Leeds Beckett University are teaming up with eight inner-city primary schools in Bradford, using drama and storytelling – through an online ‘story exchange’ experience – to build children’s skills and confidence in speaking, expressing and sharing their ideas.
The new two-year project will be led by Story Makers Company – based within the Carnegie School of Education at Leeds Beckett – and Bowling Park Primary School in Bradford. It is funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Teacher Development Fund.
The team will use drama and storytelling to bring the primary school curriculum to life for children in Year 3 and Year 4 (ages seven to nine) – focusing on the children’s communication.
