Speakeasy is a vibrant, creative agency passionate about infusing excitement into the primary and secondary school curriculum. By connecting schools, colleges, and various educational environments with talented drama practitioners and imaginative educators, Speakeasy empowers educators to harness the magic of storytelling, drama, and creative play in the classroom. With expert guidance, engaging workshops, and inspiring collaborative projects, the agency supports schools in using drama to enhance learning, nurture confidence, and amplify young voices, fostering an environment where oracy thrives.

Using drama, our aim is make the conversation between students, teachers and other school staff productive, clear and open, improving oracy along the way. We can tailor CPD events to suit teaching needs, particularly in how we as educators approach areas of potential contention, confusion and conflict. Therefore, our sessions can be adapted to suit particular aspects of the PSHE and Citizenship curriculums. Other current areas of focus for teacher CPD within schools could be: How to approach the influence and advancement of AI; How to talk with confidence; How to speak to power and politics; How to talk about sex and relationships; How to talk about gender and identity; How to speak to our creative selves; How to speak up about current crises and political views.
