About to return after two academic years - a move away and a difficult pregnancy and on maternity leave now.

Can you tell what's the latest best Drama theory book to read?

And what's the best book to read about pastoral roles?

Wide I know!

Ugh. Needlands. He was my PGCE tutor and was sooooo up himself.

Were you doing drama before? Are you going back to the same school?

If not, then have a look at how local schools (or the school you're going to) deal with drama - Gove is obviously trying to sideline it.

I can't say I recommend a theory book at all - schools treat drama differently, IME. At my current school, we do a wide variety of stuff in drama - from basic skills through to exploring ishoos through improvisation and scripts. At KS4, we do both GCSE and BTEC (Performing Arts) so I would advise someone applying to my school to become familiar with specs for both courses...

PM if you want me to be more specific.
