Musical spectacular featured classics and hits from the West End

Our talented music and drama students from Years 7 to 11 performed a musical spectacular for our end of year school production that was watched by family and friends.

The audience were treated to classic hits plus memorable scenes from hit musicals such as Les Misérables, Waitress, Hairspray, Annie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Ghost but to name a few.

This highly entertaining show featured singing, acting and dancing from our amazing cast of student performers. They have been busy rehearsing for this event and their hard work certainly paid off with some exceptional performances

As well as all of the amazing performers on stage, I would like to thank Miss Armstrong (Head of Music), Ms Millard (Head of Performing Arts) and all the staff who dedicate their time in rehearsals and planning this spectacular event.

It is events like this that creates lasting memories for our students and their families as well as opportunities for students to develop confidence and performance skills.
