Would you like the opportunity to combine your love of drama or your experience of teaching children to run a successful full time business from a home office?
The Helen O’Grady Special Award
The Helen O’Grady Special Award will be presented to a special person who is interested in changing the lives of children and young people in their area. Our unique and affordable international drama programme is already delivered weekly to almost 13,000 children in the UK alone and to many more in twenty five other countries worldwide. Schools recognise the value of the lessons in increasing children’s confidence, self esteem and skill in verbal communication – vital in the world of technology we live in today.
Children’s Language Development
John Bercow MP, following his review of the provision for children’s language development in schools said in August 2008:
“The ability to communicate is an essential life skill for all children and young people in the 21st century. It is at the core of all social interaction. With strong communication skills, children can engage and thrive. Without them children will struggle to learn, achieve, make friends and interact with the world around them.”
Principals with the Academy run classes in an exclusive territory. They can be assured of comprehensive initial training, regular ongoing support and reassuring financial advice.
An interest in and an enthusiasm for drama is far more important than formal drama training. With good teaching, smart administration and excellent marketing and promotion, the possibilities are endless.
The winning entrant will receive a full size territory worth £15,000 and will receive the same excellent training and support for which Helen O' Grady is renowned.
