"My daughters love Gracie May and really enjoy Drama"

"She is more theatrical and oriented since attending the class. More expressive."

"On Friday we had Kyra come and sing for the children and she was just fabulous, so kind natured and really inspiring. She sang to the older children in our school and they were all blown away with her talents. She got some of the children to come and sing using the microphone which they LOVED. There was even a technical issue with our sound system when they arrived, but they were so calm and collected and didn’t panic. Luckily, it all worked perfectly for the children." Ms Mckay, Croydon School

"We have engaged Grace Francis and her company, DramEd, to enhance the delivery of our planned storytelling. Each week Grace liaises with our QTS in order to maximise the learning opportunities leading on from the planned story and to give feedback as early as possible to improve the learning outcomes for our group of children. I would thoroughly recommend DramEd to any similar Childcare establishment"

“From the moment you entered the room, the children were absolutely enthralled by your creative and engaging method of delivery. Each child regardless of their ability, cultural background or level of English beamed with joy while interacting with you and working their way through the story. You turned everyday learning into a magical experience. One of the teachers said it was like watching an actress on television.”

“Our girls loved having DramEd in to work with them. Their activities were exciting and engaging from start to finish. Grace has a natural ability to bring out the best in children it was wonderful to see our girls thrive. Thanks for coming”.

“The children had a special visit today from Lilly and Larry's Storytelling workshop and I cannot rave about it enough. Massive thumbs up!“

“Graceʼs Classes was also featured in The Ealing Times".

"DramEd's Drama Class has been Florence's favourite club this term she's doing three at the moment! She's very excited about the performance"

"My daughter, Sophia, has been thoroughly enjoying her after school DramEd club. She loves performing for us at home, and explaining what she is learning".

"The Rosa Parks Workshop was perfectly timed and child appropriate. Lots of information to take away and use in class. Thank you!"

DramEd was featured on BBC Radio 1 with Eddie Nestor's Talks on Education"

"That was my second training with you and I loved both. It's something you remember for long, and your personality and your energy just so positive and engaging. Thank you. :)"

"Your energy was amazing and made me feel comfortable straight away. I am not one to get up and throw myself into things, but your openness made me feel comfortable enough to join in."

"I had to step out of my comfort zone in certain points of this training. I always like, afterwards, to push myself, I just need to make the first step to start enjoying it. Growing self-confidence is something I am always looking for, knowing myself helps me getting along with myself better and helps me dealing with emotions I feel in different situations." - Marcello

"I really enjoyed the interactive parts of the training, I feel like it helped me build confidence throughout the course. It was really entertaining and also informative. I remembered some useful tips on how to improve my body language in my work and personal relationships (or with strangers)." - Lulia

"I have been trying for months to get Ollie interested in numbers to no avail. A couple of sessions at the nursery with songs, rhymes and Gracie-May and now numbers is one of his favourite topics of conversations." Kirsten, Parent and Blogger

"Dear Grace, I’ve really enjoyed you teaching me maths. Mummy and Daddy are very impressed with how much I have learnt. Thank you, Love from Elina" Age 4 - Nursery Pupil.

"The children in our Reception classes thoroughly enjoyed Joseph’s story-telling session which he led with such passion. The children were engaged and excited during the entire session and loved using their expressive and imaginative skills to re-tell the story". - Key Leader

"Yesterday, was fantastic. The feedback from the teachers is all positive (as always!). I barely got a chance to come to the hall as I was busy in Y6, but when I did, the children sounded like they had a fantastic time. Joseph was a pleasure to meet. Next year, in May, we have planned an international week with the theme 'Stories from Home'. I am letting you know in advance as I would like to book another storytelling workshop with an international theme. I will stay in touch about the event." Assistant Head Teacher

"We have been enjoying the brilliance of the DramEd team for the past few years and have never been disappointed. Whether it be traditional storytelling, interactive role-play, the rhythmic chanting of songs of empowerment or a one-woman reenactment from history, the children always leave feeling fulfilled. The events led by the team are always thoroughly engaging and offer the children a chance to experience something new, whilst taking part in something fun! We are always grateful for the effort that the DramEd team puts into ensuring that their experiences are memorable and educational for the children." Ms Brown, Three Bridges Primary

"Today went really well! The children enjoyed exploring Macbeth and the performance was fantastic.
Claire was great - enthusiastic, flexible and fun!" Senior Leader, Ealing Primary School

"We have just had Papis take a traditional African drumming assembly for our entire school and then run drumming/dancing sessions for our Ks1 children. Again, what a delightful and kind natured person he was! He had all the children in assembly singing along and totally engaged. 3 classes of children then got to show off their dancing skills with him, which they all utterly loved!" Sarah, Croydon School
