The English Department’s Trip to ‘Macbeth’

Our Literature students went to see an unusual interpretation of Macbeth at Southwark Playhouse. It was another opportunity to listen to the lines and try to learn quotations ready for the final exams. And our students had LOTS of feedback to give the director regarding the production!

We have now taken this cohort to see at least one performance for each of their set texts for their course and we wish them the best of luck in the summer exams.

Last weekend Mia in Year 8 took part in another Starpower International Dance Competition in Kent (an international performance talent circuit that has been running for over 35 years both in Europe and the US).

It was a marathon of a competition that lasted all day and during which Mia performed over 10 dance routines, including solos, duets and group compositions.

She won 5 stars, 1st place and highest score overall for her solo performance, as well as special judges' prize for 'Magnificent Movement'. Mia also took 1st place and second highest overall score for the duet.

Every group dance in which Mia took part received 5 stars and took either 1st, 2nd or 3rd place overall.

In addition to various awards, Mia and other girls from Extreme Dance School received 'Golden Tickets' to a World Dance Competition as well as scholarships for a summer intensive workshop in the USA.

Congratulations Mia!
