SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Actor-led workshops that help students speak up, present with impact and grow in confidence.
We work with secondary schools to support students in developing confidence, communication and spoken language skills. Our workshops are interactive, engaging and designed to give students clear techniques they can apply immediately — whether presenting in class, preparing for interviews or speaking under pressure.
We focus on helping students build confidence, think independently and communicate with clarity, while also developing an awareness of how they come across, how they adapt to different audiences and how they connect effectively with others. Alongside this, students develop key skills such as leadership, teamwork and resilience that extend beyond the classroom.
FINDING YOUR VOICE
Our most popular workshop for secondary schools
This workshop develops students’ confidence, communication and speaking skills through practical, actor-led techniques.
Fast-paced, engaging and supportive, the session gives students clear strategies they can apply immediately. They learn how to use breath, body and voice to communicate with clarity and confidence when presenting, speaking in class or performing under pressure. Students also develop tools to manage nerves and deliver ideas with greater control, impact and conviction — while becoming more aware of how they are perceived and how to engage an audience.
Students learn to:
Use breath, body and voice to communicate with confidence
Understand how body language shapes communication and influences how they are perceived
Apply practical techniques for speaking and presenting
Manage nerves and performance anxiety
Speak clearly, with greater control and impact
Build resilience through challenge and creative risk-taking
Develop awareness of audience, helping them adapt, respond and connect more effectively
“Students came away with clear implementable skills and were able to put them into practice immediately. We’ve already booked again for next year.”
