Drama specialist, Mrs Lorraine Taylor-Parker  L.R.A.M (Speech &  Drama) runs a highly popular Drama Club on Friday afternoons – helping children gain confidence and acting ability.
As an ex- pupil and parent Mrs Taylor-Parker began working at Froebelian in 1987 immediately after qualifying. She specialises in Speech and Drama but also teaches Mime, Improvisation, Theatre Skills and Public Speaking.
