Introduction
The half term culminated in an incredible show, the likes of which has never been seen before! Mrs Howard, Mrs Lomath and the rest of the production team pulled out all the stops, dazzling packed out audiences on two consecutive evenings.
The first half was a short play called Love and Friendship, by Cecily O’Neill, based on the early writings of Jane Austen.

"The school's Christian ethos, centred on valuing each person, is lived out daily in the school community."
We were honoured that Cecily came to watch the Thursday evening performance; she very much enjoyed the whole evening and she was extremely impressed by the quality of our young people’s acting.The second half of the production joyously showcased our pupils’ diverse talents which included powerful spoken word performances; dance, song, a piano recital and a gymnastics display.
“Pupils achieve good and sometimes excellent learning outcomes across the school from a diverse range of starting points…… Many of their results in optional subjects and religious studies, which are taken before Year 11, are above expectation...[and] routinely perform above their predicted levels, often by more than a grade.”
The cast of 60 comprised pupils from Years 5 to 11 and also featured a newly formed staff choir. All of our pupils are to be hugely congratulated on their hard work and should be very proud of all that they achieved: they are remarkably gifted young people.
We were very grateful to Romick Services and Sam Eyres Designs for sponsoring the production and we would love to invite other businesses to partner with us in this way - please contact the school office if you are interested.
Conclusion
I am delighted to be able to let you know that the production raised almost £1000 which will go into our Immeasurably More fundraising pot.
