Growing Together in Partnership

St Louise’s Specialist College
Victoria College

A group of 30 GCSE Drama students took shared 1 hour fortnightly classes on the Victoria site and explored a unit of work explicitly focused on the theme of reconciliation. Project activity was supported by a two day residential where pupils had the opportunity to work together with a professional theatre practitioner and the development of VLEs (virtual learning environments) to maintain engagement outside of contact classes.

The programme developed over the three years by increasing the number of pupils and staff involved.  At the end of each of the three years the original drama which had been created together was presented in both schools to fellow students and parents.
