Praise for our recent Masterplan course
For me the most valuable part has been hearing guest speakers who are experienced talk about their process. As an ECT teacher it was extremely inspiring and useful to engage with. I am hopefully able to drip feed this into my current practice and continue to develop and grow as a practitioner and teacher.

The course opened up an opportunity to focus on year groups that are often in second place on the priority list due to the demands of KS4 and 5.
Having the option to join the course with a colleague was a real strength for us as it allowed me as a 'Drama Dinosaur' (27 years of teaching) and Joel as an ECT1 to work together to reinvigorate our KS3 offer.
Furthermore, the course offered a safe space to discuss both the opportunities and challenges of teaching KS3.

A bit about me
The Summer holidays is the only time in the year I feel it’s possible for drama teachers to properly switch off.
But as I would near the end of August each year, I would start thinking about September and feel a bit of dread, especially about teaching Key Stage 3.
What am I teaching? Will they enjoy the lessons? What will behaviour be like?
My Key Stage 3 teaching was always something I lacked confidence in.
I used to think I would get more time and headspace in the Summer Term to plan out my Key Stage 3 curriculum for September but the truth is that, even though exam groups have left, I never found time to do it.
Then, a few years ago, I really carved out some time to look at what I was delivering at Key Stage 3.
I mean really look.
I took a step-by-step approach to creating a curriculum, tailored to my school and my students, and made sure everything was in place by the end of July.
This allowed me to go away in August and properly relax.
(OK, my mind was still buzzing a bit with teaching ideas, as it always is!)
But I felt so much more confident going in at the start of September.
This gave me the best start to the year with the Key Stage 3 groups.

What makes this course unique?
There are plenty of places online to download schemes of work or pick up disconnected drama resources.
But The Drama Teacher Masterplan 2026 is different.
This is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ curriculum course.
It is a structured, supported professional development journey designed to help drama teachers build a curriculum with clarity, confidence and purpose.
Across our expert-led sessions, you will refine and strengthen:
-
Curriculum intent and sequencing
-
Planning and assessment at KS3 and beyond
-
Meaningful oracy within drama
-
Student discussion and engagement
-
Department-wide curriculum consistency
-
Leadership confidence and curriculum vision
-
September routines and implementation
-
Support for specialists and non-specialists
You will also receive a personalised 1:1 Curriculum Clinic to review your current provision and identify practical next steps.
And don’t worry — this course is designed to support busy teachers.
No overwhelming resource dumps. No endless videos.
Just focused, practical training, flexible replays, useful curriculum support and strategies you can apply immediately in your own context.
As with all We Teach Drama CPD, the focus is on impact.
By September, you won’t be starting from scratch — you’ll be stepping into the new academic year with a clearer curriculum, stronger systems and greater confidence.
Your step-by-step approach to creating a rich & impactful
Key Stage 3 Curriculum.

Thank you for all the inspiration, CPD & nuggets to support us all in the drama classroom. Being part of the Masterplan has helped me in so many ways, including being part of a drama community and, as a one-person department, not feeling isolated.
