Free Learning
Resources
Transform your classroom with our accessible free learning resources!
While our On-demand Digital Packages support teachers to put on spectacular performances, our free teaching resources integrate performing arts with essential skill development including communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.
For primary pupils, we offer resources that cover a variety of subjects including music, maths, languages, culture and cuisine. For secondary pupils our extensive curriculum-based resources inspired by Donizetti's opera, The Elixir of Love, are designed to focus on expressive arts subjects including art & design, drama and music.
Our flexible approach allows you to seamlessly integrate these resources into your timetable or lesson plans, supporting your delivery of A Curriculum for Excellence at times that work best for you and your students.
