Our Story

About Drama Knights

Helping every child find their spotlight since we first opened our doors at Oystermouth Primary School

Our Mission

Drama Knights was born from a simple belief: every child has something extraordinary inside them. Our mission is to create a safe, encouraging space where children can discover their voice, build unshakeable confidence, and develop skills that will serve them for life — all through the magic of drama.

Based at Oystermouth Primary School in the heart of Mumbles, we're proud to be a part of this wonderful community. We keep our sessions affordable at just £5 each because we believe every child should have access to the transformative power of performing arts.

“Armoured in Confidence”

Our tagline captures everything we stand for. We equip children with the confidence to face any stage — whether that's a school play, a classroom presentation, or simply being themselves.

Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do at Drama Knights

Confidence

We believe every child deserves to feel confident. Our sessions are designed to build self-assurance step by step.

Creativity

Imagination is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage children to think creatively and express themselves freely.

Inclusivity

Every child is welcome. We celebrate differences and ensure every child feels valued, supported, and part of the team.

Community

Drama Knights is more than a club — it's a community. We build lasting friendships and a sense of belonging.

Fun

Learning through play is the most powerful way to grow. Our sessions are packed with laughter, energy, and excitement.

Achievement

Every child gets their moment to shine. We celebrate every achievement, big or small, on stage and off.

What a Session Looks Like

Every session is carefully structured to be exciting, educational, and confidence-building

First 10 minutes

Warm-Up Games

We start every session with high-energy games and activities that get everyone moving, laughing, and working together. These games build trust and break the ice.

Next 20–30 minutes

Drama Activities

The core of every session — improvisation, character work, script reading, storytelling, or rehearsals. Activities are tailored to the group and rotate each week to keep things fresh and exciting.

Next 15–20 minutes

Group Work & Rehearsals

Children work together in smaller groups or as a whole cast. This is where teamwork, listening, and collaboration really come alive — especially when we're building towards a show.

Final 5 minutes

Cool-Down & Reflection

We finish with a calm reflection, where children share what they enjoyed and what they learned. It's a chance to celebrate achievements and build excitement for the next session.

Every Child Matters

At Drama Knights, there is no “main character” and no child left on the sidelines. We are passionately committed to ensuring every child — regardless of ability, experience, or personality — gets opportunities to participate, contribute, and shine.

Many of our most confident performers were once the shyest children in the room. We never force anyone into the spotlight before they're ready. Instead, we gently build confidence through games, group work, and encouragement, letting every child blossom at their own pace.

Whether your child dreams of being centre stage or prefers to be part of the chorus, they'll find their place with us.
