Teaches GCSE &amp; A Level Drama \/ Film &amp; LAMDA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teacher \u00b7 Director \u00b7 Former RSC Actor \u00b7 Professional Chaos Coordinator<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0Siobhan.\u00a0Originally\u00a0from Manchester. I trained as an actor at East 15 Drama School and then went on to spend two seasons with the Royal Shakespeare Company, performed opposite a young Jude Law at the Royal Court (in our scenes nobody noticed me, just gorgeous Jude) and was in the very first season at Shakespeare\u2019s Globe. On screen, I played <em>Rotten Rose<\/em> in the BAFTA-winning <em>Maid Marian and Her Merry Men<\/em>, appeared in\u00a0numerous\u00a0TV dramas, and was heavily pregnant in a very disturbing scene alongside Michael Caine in the film, <em>Shiner<\/em> (see video below)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Siobhan&#039;s tv clips\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wsfMf1G-NJU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After spending eight years in Spain raising my family, running drama workshops (and building a straw-bale house), I returned to England and retrained as a teacher. Within a few years I was Head of Creative Arts at a secondary school in Kent, teaching Drama, Film (and LAMDA exams) from GCSE through to A Level. I\u2019m now training as an A Level Drama examiner. My writing credits include CBBC\u2019s <em>Boo!<\/em> and <em>The Chuckle Brothers<\/em>, and my feature screenplay <em>Monica Ol\u2019e<\/em> won the Women in Film &amp; TV\/Avalon Award. I have also written over a dozen educational schemes of work which have been published nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND, Neurodiversity &amp; Why I\u2019m Qualified to Teach Students with Additional Needs<br><\/strong>Working with neurodiverse and anxious learners isn\u2019t something I fell into, it\u2019s something I\u2019ve trained extensively for and genuinely specialised in. Alongside years teaching students with high levels of SEND and EHCP students, I hold a long list of relevant CPD training, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Child Protection &amp; Safeguarding (multiple courses)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Child-on-Child Abuse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Prevent Duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ADHD Awareness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dyslexia Awareness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental Wellbeing in Children &amp; Young People<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GDPR &amp; Data Protection (Education)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First Aid Essentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health &amp; Safety in Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Yes, that is a lot of training. I also have my cycling proficiency award and my BAGA gymnastics awards 1-3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest shift for me came from real experience<strong>:<\/strong> I was a short-break foster carer<strong>,<\/strong> supporting children with complex needs. One non-verbal autistic boy stayed with me for regular weekends and that changed everything. It taught me more about patience, sensory regulation, trust-building and the power of creative play than any course ever could. That experience now underpins everything I do. It\u2019s why my teaching is structured but soft, creative but calm, and always built around the child in front of me. I\u2019m currently collaborating with the University of Sussex on an app supporting children with additional needs, blending creativity, empathy and a love of tech I never expected to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How I Teach:&nbsp; <\/strong>Playful, humorous, energetic, visual. Structured but fun, not dull and boring. I\u2019m not judgemental. I\u2019m encouraging. I like to build positive, warm relationships with students so we are on the same wavelength. I include all students: the shy ones, the outgoing ones, the imaginative ones, the beautifully chaotic ones, the perfectionists, the quiet thinkers and the absolute whirlwinds. I work especially well with neurodiverse learners, anxious performers, and students who need a smaller, gentler space to be brave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5238d3e9 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Richard-Attlee.png\" alt=\"Richard Attlee\" class=\"wp-image-1183 lazyload\" style=\"width:250px\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Richard-Attlee.png\" alt=\"Richard Attlee\" class=\"wp-image-1183 lazyload\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Richard-Attlee.png 250w, https:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Richard-Attlee-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Richard-Attlee-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Richard-Attlee-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"background-color: #f7369f; color: #fff; padding: 0.3em;\">Richard Attlee<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BA Hons \u00b7 Actor \u00b7 Voice Artist \u00b7 LAMDA tutor &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video class=\"lazyload\" height=\"270\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 480 \/ 270;\" width=\"480\" controls poster=\"http:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Richard-Attlee-Showreel-2020.webp\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thecurioustheatrecompany.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/RICATT-Showreel-2020.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Richard is not from Moss Side or anywhere near it.
