with @MrColesDrama we have over the past 2 years we have changed our curriculum to a knowledge based one, it has been the best decision for the pupils. We focus on the deep knowledge and understanding which in turn creates true creativity 1/3 https://www.tes.com/news/were-wrong-try-teach-creativity-heres-why?amp&__twitter_impression=true

Before pupils would put in basic techniques for example just because we told them too. Now by year 8/9 they tell us what techniques they are using but more importantly WHY! What the impact of that technique will have on their performance and for the audience. 2/3

Because they now have the knowledge of the 'rules' they can be creative with them in a far more deeper way which is producing better overall results and I don't mean everyone is now the best actor that's not the point but what they are is more knowing. 3/3
