Charlize Prepares to Swim Channel EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS Congratulations to Darcie Playle (Year 10) and Hannah Tomlinson-Roe (Year 10) who both received 94 marks out of 100 in their Gold Jazz exam. Results like this are usually only achieved by dancers studying at full-time professional dance colleges so we are extremely proud of both of them.
Charlize Spriggs (Year 7) is swimming The Channel this summer to raise funds for Papworth Hopsital. She will be swimming the 22 miles from Dover to France, with five members of her family and friends taking hour-long shifts each until they reach France. You can sponsor her amazing challenge here: https:// www.justgiving.com/Charley-and-the-oldspeedos-channel-swim/

Members of New Hall Dance Company performed at the Kids Inspire Charity Ball on Friday evening. This event took place at Stock Brook Manor and had a 1920's theme. The dancers performed a tap dance from the film 'The Artist', matching the theme of the evening perfectly. The dancers performed in a professional manner and the performance was enjoyed by all. Thank you to all who took part.
