About Enspire
Local drama clubs, run properly
Small clubs, teachers who know the children, and the same high standards our schools expect during the day.
Our story
Started by a primary school teacher
Enspire was started in 2015 by Tim Ryan, a primary school teacher. The name is a blend of Enjoy and Inspire, which is still what every session is for.
The first club, a drama club, opened in September 2016, and new schools have joined most years since.
Tim has now stepped back from the business, and Enspire is run by a new team keeping the same approach and the same commitment to the schools and families we work with.
How we work
The standards we hold ourselves to
First aid
Our teachers hold paediatric first aid certificates and keep them up to date.
DBS checked
Everyone has a DBS check before they start, and we follow safer recruitment practice including employment history and references.
Insured and documented
We hold public and employers' liability insurance, and each school receives a risk assessment and our policies every year.
Our team
Teachers from your area
Our teachers and assistants live locally. Many are teachers or teaching assistants who want a few extra hours; others are parents, actors and students. Every member of staff is approved by both Enspire and the school before they work there.
What we don't do
No photos of children, no feed-filling
We don't post photos of children in costume or at clubs. It doesn't help families, and it isn't why you send your child to us.
We keep social media to a minimum and mostly use it to advertise jobs. When a new school asks us to run a club, we provide references from schools we already work with.

We are always glad to hear from people who enjoy working with children.
