Performing Arts

As the restrictions have lifted it has been wonderful to be able to open up the school for performances to live audiences this year, and the children have certainly made the most of every opportunity! Our weekly internal showcases have not only helped to boost performance confidence for the children but have also enabled us to have some visitor performances, a welcome treat and wonderful learning opportunity. We had a number of pupils aiming for scholarships this year in all aspects of performance arts at a number of different schools and it was lovely to note the commitment and hardwork applied towards these assessments. This year we have enjoyed our Harvest Festival Service, Remembrance Service, The Year 8 Production of The Lion King Jnr, The Walled Garden Musical Nativity Production, The Carol Service, ‘Back to the 80s’ Dance Show, The Year 5 Play ‘Three Musketeers’, The Year 6 Play ‘Hamlet, What was The Question?’, The Spring Concert, The Year 3 Class Assembly ‘Rocks’, Busking at The Jubilee Fete, ‘Mixed Up Fairy Tales’ a play written and performed by Year 4, The Year 7 Showcase and The Year 8 Leavers Concert to name but a few! In addition a large number of pupils have undertaken ABRSM Music Exams, Trinity Musical Theatre Exams, LCM Musical Theatre Exams, RBA Ballet Exams, LAMDA exams and Trinity Music Exams all passing with flying colours!
