Performing Arts Programme | Spring/Summer 2024

Performing Arts Programme

Introduction

After a huge array of talent displayed during the Autumn Term, the Performing Arts on offer for the Spring and Summer Terms looks set to provide equal delight.

The opportunities Performing Arts affords our students extend beyond the stage, as they gain skills and selfconfidence which they will take through the entirety of their school life and beyond.

I hope that you enjoy watching the variety of talent being showcased here at Pipers as much as I will.
