School Pantomime & Theatre in Education

Schools want to inspire their pupils, but they also have a timetable to protect and a budget to manage. School pantomime and theatre can be a powerful educational tool, supporting curriculum learning, oracy and engagement across the whole school.

Traditional theatre trips however, often come with added pressure: transport, risk assessments, permission slips, time out of class and significant cost.

That's why schools choose Shooting Star Entertainments.

School Pantomimes and Theatre in Education : Oberon from A Midsummer Night's Dream poised and looking important wearing a crown of flowers.

Edutainment and Pantomime in your School Hall

We bring theatre to your school to support learning. No bus. No fuss. 

Our theatre in education and school pantomime performances are designed with clear educational intent. They're curriculum-linked, PSHE-aligned, and built to develop oracy and engagement, so children learn through live experience, not worksheets.
