Arts On The Move - Drama in the Primary School. If drama is to take its rightful place as a discrete and valuable subject in the primary sector, the new strategy for primary schools: 'Excellence and Enjoyment - A Strategy for Primary Schools' may prove to be the catalyst to generate change.
Launched by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills in May 2003, the strategy is a vision for the sector where 'high standards are obtained through a rich, varied and exciting curriculum which develops children in a range of ways' (www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primary/publications/literacy/63553/) It can only be hoped - and assumed - that this 'rich, varied and exciting curriculum' will consist of many arts subjects, drama included.
