Primary School Facilitator - Gemma McDonald
"I am passionate about the arts and their potential to help change people's lives.
I have over 20 years experience as a drama teacher, including leadership and pastoral roles, along with running my own theatre company for 5-16 year olds.
I enjoy watching the progression of young people and using drama as a tool to support the wider curriculum and develop important skills needed for everyday life"
