Over half a million KS3 students have seen The Flying Theatre Company. So what benefit did they get?

Since The Flying Theatre Company started to visit secondary schools in the UK over fifteen years ago we’ve been developing, improving and refining our show.

We’ve listened to comments from teachers and students. We’ve analysed the responses, and asked teachers questions about the effect on learning that a visit from the company produces.

Throughout this period our aim has been the same. To give the students the confidence that they can understand French and that they can enjoy working in the French language.

Which takes us back to the question: what did the students and members of staff think of the performance?

Perhaps the best answer comes from the fact that over 80% of the schools that ask The Flying Theatre Company to visit them, subsequently rebook the company for a further visit. Which tends to suggest that the performance was deemed to have a positive effect.

What’s more, because this is a professional production we use radio mics – which in turn means that there is no limit on the number of students who attend the performance. They’ll hear us, even at the very back.

The average cost for a school is approximately £3 per student – which is generally considered a very modest sum to pay in return for the enthusiasm and drive that students take away from the performance.

As for the production itself, this is totally in French – but at a level that all students will understand. It is funny, attention grabbing, motivating and memorable.
