In this episode, we will look at Dungeons & Dragons at school, in primary and secondary.

To explore this we will hear from Debs Barrie & Andrew Hay.

Andrew Hay is the Principal Teacher of Technologies at Newbattle High School where he runs a Dungeons and Dragons club. He supports the 66th Edinburgh Boys' Brigade company as Captain and Games master of the Dungeons and Dragons games they play for fun. He is passionate about supporting young people to develop creativity and problem solving skills to support them as a teenager but also give them the skills to apply in adult life.

Debs Barrie has been a primary teacher for 15 years and has been playing dnd since the launch of 5e. She feels lucky to still play with her original group in which there are two fabulous DMs. They made the game so much fun that she started a school D&D club in 2018. She continued throughout lockdown and until the children went to high school and joined, or formed, clubs there. While she continues to run games for upper primary children, more recently she has introduced D&D to primary 1 children, simplifying and adapting it to suit younger players.

Here is our Learning & Development Officer Jenny Lester catching up with Debs & Andrew.
