Tales from the Shed Training

Tales from the Shed, our hugely popular interactive performance for our youngest audiences aged 0-6 years, can be used in Early Years education practice to creatively improve literacy, numeracy and communication skills.

The show delivers many different and exciting projects within Schools which can range from one-offs to five-week training programmes. We also have a residence in an Enfield Borough School to which we deliver 21 sessions a year.

Current projects include working alongside teachers in the classroom co-delivering curriculum using 'Tales from the Shed' stories and play ethos to enhance the children's learning experience and promote wider social benefits.

If you would like to discuss the opportunity of using Tales from the Shed within your school, please get in touch.
