Page to Stage (Script Work) Scheme KS3

A complete, ready-to-teach Scheme of Work PPT designed for Year 9 (fully adaptable across KS3), centred on the exciting journey from page to stage.

This scheme includes three carefully selected scripts, each paired with practical performance skills and engaging drama techniques. It is supported by a comprehensive teacher guide, providing clear structure, delivery strategies, and lesson-by-lesson support to ensure confident teaching and strong student outcomes.

Included texts and focus areas:
Blood Brothers
Developing characterisation through voice and movement
Exploring vocal skills (accent, tone, pace, pitch)
Using physicality to communicate age, status, and relationships

• Ernie’s Incredible Illucinations*
  Understanding character intentions to enhance performance
  Using mime and exaggerated physicality to create effective comedy
  Building ensemble performance through imaginative staging

15 Reasons Not to Be in a Play
Exploring physical theatre to create dynamic, visual storytelling
Using direct address to engage and connect with an audience
Developing confidence in multi-rolling and ensemble work

Across the scheme, students progress from script analysis to rehearsal and performance, building a strong foundation in both performance skills and theatrical techniques. The structure supports creativity, collaboration, and confidence—culminating in a final assessed performance.
