Ex-Dorothy Stringer student and former Drama Department Assistant Simeon Desvignes is currently starring in a National Theatre production of Hamlet, specially devised and adapted for young audiences. Simeon is on tour around the UK and has also recently appeared on Newsround Well done, Simeon!

In other Drama news, we'd like to congratulate Django D and Aiden F, who are still with us in Year 11, but have both been accepted to the BRIT School Theatre strand from September Well done both!

We'd also like to say a massive well done to Lottie Brookes, who went on to Newman College after Dorothy Stringer and was part of their team who won the Women's Rosslyn Park National 7s Competition. Phil Ward, Head Coach, said; 'Despite only getting back into rugby in January and combining it with her college netball, Lottie’s work ethic forced her into the National Championship squad. In her first game of 7s for Newman, despite the team winning 34-0, Lottie chased back 25m to prevent the opposition scoring a try. It’s this mindset never to give up that helped her and her teammates win the National 7s Championship without ever contending more than one try per game.'

Well done Lottie and the rest of the team!
