Manifesto launch.jpg
We are advocating for:

  1. The recognition of Drama (and all other arts subjects) as every student's right, equal to all other STEM and / or SHAPE subjects

  2. The entitlement of every child to at least one annual engagement with professional theatre practices.

  3. A drama curriculum and theatre repertoire that is more representative of the UK's diversity.

Working with the education and theatre sectors, and by uniting our significant, combined membership, we are speaking with government, governors, theatres, schools and more to achieve our collective goals.

National Plan for Drama & Theatre Education

In 2025, the DTEA launched it's National Plan for Drama & Theatre Education, a blueprint for the education sector for the implementation of Drama in the curriculum.
