Primary Schools

Exactly What Happens?

Parents pay £60 for twelve 1-hour Act Smart after-school sessions, which run across a term. Parents commit termly. An Act Smart Activity Week (£70) in a school holiday offers children 5 continuous days to make a play in a week.

For Act Smart to be sustainable, it must average 20 children over a year – though it can accommodate up to 25. You need to be confident that promotion of Act Smart, with attractive materials supplied by C&T, can average 20 children at each session.

You choose both the termtime day of the week for the after-school sessions and the date of the holiday Activity Week.

C&T is already successfully running paid-for after-school groups in 13 primary schools in the Midlands.

Over the coming year children will take part in 6 exciting and varied projects:

The Dark Theatre: Use drama to bring a comic book alive and solve the murder!
LipSync: Make your own music video performances.
Rollercoaster!: Create and run your own virtual theme park.
Creature Feature: Create and grow your own creatures and bring them to life.
Spotlight: Use video and drama to unfold a mysterious story.
The Living Newspaper: Bring the news to life through drama and journalism.
