Bullying Scheme of Work

(ages 11-12)

This six-week scheme uses bullying as a focused context for practical drama work. Students draw on their own experiences to devise pieces that examine multiple perspectives — victims, bullies, witnesses and teachers — while teachers guide creation of lyrical and visual material alongside drama tasks. The unit emphasises student-led devising and creative workshops to develop characterisation, empathy and ensemble skills. Provide sensitivity guidance and classroom agreements before exploring personal material.

What Students Will Learn

Throughout the unit students will explore a range of perspectives around bullying, develop characters and short devised scenes, and practise presenting devised work. They will also create complementary lyrical and visual material, developing skills in devising, characterisation, vocal expression and collaborative ensemble work while practising empathy and perspective-taking.
