About Polka Theatre
Polka Theatre understands the importance of creativity in education. As a national leader in Early Years and Primary School practice, Polka works closely with schools and education professionals to develop work that helps them deliver creative curriculum aims, while supporting children in learning about themselves and the world around them.
Polka aims to provide positive inspiration for children that helps shape the adults they will become.
Schools can engage with Polka in many ways, including;
– Visiting Polka’s state-of-the-art theatre for a show and workshop
– Requesting a [tailor-made workshop](https://polkatheatre.com/schools/workshops/) in their school setting (delivery also available online)
– Extra-curricular enrichment opportunities for students through after school clubs
– Booking Polka’s [Sensory Space](https://polkatheatre.com/schools/also-on-offer/sensory-space/) for groups with D/deaf, disabled, and neurodiverse children
– Taking advantage of Polka’s free [teacher resources and CPD opportunities hub](https://polkatheatre.com/schools/also-on-offer/teacher-hub/)
“There is nothing quite as exciting for children as experiencing the magical joy of live theatre. We don’t offer just a theatre trip, but an all-round enjoyable creative experience for school children and teachers, providing enriching resources that encourage curiosity and spark imagination.”
– Polly Simmonds, Head of Creative Learning, Polka Theatre
