Using forum theatre to develop social skills in primary schools, an evidence-based approach to violence reduction.
“On average social skills training programmes have reduced the number of children involved in crime by 32%” so says the Youth Endowment Fund. They go on to say
“Programmes had the largest impact when working with children around the age of 9 to 10.”
This portal therefore provides access to a series of social skills training programmes that are primarily designed to be delivered at Key stage 2.
Welcome to our Primary School Portal
Ariel’s portal provides access to creative, skills development resources designed to support teachers to develop the social & emotional skills, which are shown to protect children from violence and other risks, which they may face.
Our Key Stage 1 & 2 resources are organised by the key skill area that they support, although each programme covers a number of skills areas if you deliver the full half-term programme. You can read more about each programme using the menu above. We recommend delivering the full programmes in order to maximise the impacts, however they are designed to be used flexibly where this isn’t possible.

“Thank you. Your resources, along with the use of theatre/ drama studies, have been very powerful for my class”.
“Ariel Trust resources are always spot on in supporting us with current topical issues that young people are faced with today”.
“I thought the resources were excellent, it will really help to support the package of transition that we are providing for our Y6 pupils as they transition to secondary school”.
“Children will be empowered and educated to make informed decisions and will remember due to the interactive scenario techniques”.
