"It is through drama that many young people develop a deeper emotional literacy, learning ways to express this in a safe environment." Nicola Dax, LAMDA teacher at Fairfield, highlights the vital role that drama has in the development of young people and how it helps children to build important academic and social skills. Through the subject, many pupils benefit from improved reading skills, stronger vocabulary, and greater confidence in speaking and listening. It also helps pupils to build emotional intelligence, express themselves creatively, and collaborate effectively. These skills not only enhance their education but also equip them for success in all areas of life.
