Beauty is something we value instinctively. We find it in art and in nature, in words, images and ideas, seeking it through our senses and through our intellect, in others and in ourselves. This book seeks to re-awaken educators to the power of beauty as an educational concept, to its relevance for schools and the needs of students and teachers.

Gives an introduction for early years and primary school teachers who are new to drama and for student teachers who wish to specialise in the teaching of drama. This work offers guidance to help teachers and children grow in confidence in their use of drama, and shows how drama can contribute to work in English, and learning across the curriculum.

This text is aimed at teachers who wish to harness the power of drama and story for the purposes of social and moral education and in support of the National Literacy Strategy. The author draws upon classroom examples and provides teachers with guidance to support their own school planning.
