Primary Schools Tour

Get your pupils singing and moving while learning!

Our much-loved, annual Primary Schools Tour helps teachers all over Scotland deliver aspects of A Curriculum for Excellence, giving up to 100 of your P5-P7s the opportunity to be involved in a special performance day, during which our team of teaching artists help them stage their own all-singing, all-dancing 30-minute show.

In 2026, we will be bringing back The Dragon of the Western Sea, which last toured in 2018.

The tour will run throughout the Spring and Summer terms, from February 2026.

Applications for Primary Schools Tour 2026, are now open. For more information, click here.

Each school that participates receives:

• High quality teaching resources, including a teachers' support pack to help introduce the music and related activities.
• A day-long workshop with a team of highly experienced arts education specialists and performers.
• A 30 minute performance for family, friends and schoolmates to share.
  
  
  

What's been said about our past Primary Schools Tours...

"Many thanks to everyone involved for creating such memorable songs and effective dance routines. The lyrics were brilliant, perfectly incapsulating the most memorable parts of the original poem. I hope if I’m teaching P6 again next session that we get the opportunity to collaborate again."

"The materials sent out and the video links made this so much easier to prepare for. The children, although small in number, felt mighty with the level of preparation they had. They went along feeling confident and successful."

"The impact this project has is huge. Children who you really don't expect to, always really enjoy taking part and it does wonders for confidence, broadening children's experiences in the arts."
