MESSAGES FROM THE WGS STAFF

Kim

Thankyou for everything you have done for the kids at The Grove. Personally you have been brilliant with my two boys – challenging, supporting, and showing patience in spades! We’ll miss you hugely!

ED WRIGHT

Dear Kim

Thank you for five superb years with your hand tightly gripped on the production rudder The quality and variety of the shows has been exceptional and confirmation of this is the number of pupils who want to be a part of each show My favourite shows are Double Dahl, High School Musical and Our Day Out; the latter just edging into number one. After 13 shows, it seems as if 13 is our unlucky number as you are leaving our stage, however, whatever stage you grace in the future will be very lucky.

I hope you remember your time at the Grove fondly and keep in touch

KEVIN EAGLESTONE

Dear Kim,

Wishing you all the best as you end your time at the Grove I have thoroughly enjoyed all the productions you have been involved in and led over your time with us. I know Lexie really enjoyed being involved in Bugsy!

The imagination shown in all the productions is incredible and the level of performance of our students is a credit to you and the hard work put it.

Well done especially for dealing with the weather in your last production with us - Alice in Wonderland Again, the kids managing to adapt so well to the indoor performance is down to your ability to get the best from them. Sorry to see you go and all the very best!

ANTHONY CADMAN

Thank you for all your wonderful creativity and engagement with all school productionsyou have set the bar so high and leave a legacy of skill and professionalism that as a school we will emulate and move forward from You will be much missed!

DONNA SHOESMITH-EVANS

Dear Kim,

Over the last five years, school productions have been a real highlight for me in the school year. Thank you for your excellent work in partnership with Laura to make these productions possible Blue Stockings was so beautifully done, and I will remember it for the atmosphere and emotion created More recently, 'School of Rock' stands out as such a huge achievement. I do not underestimate how much work went into coordinating all of the components of such a complex production. Wishing you well as you head off to Cheshire to pastures new. I hope you will not be a stranger!

Very best wishes,

EMMA NULTY

Thank you, Kim, for giving the Sixth Form students the opportunity to express themselves on stage. They have learnt a lot from you, and you have helped them all ‘step out of their comfort zone’. All the best for the future!

Everything Kim has done has been a total triumph. I genuinely think Kim is a genius and a magician and she's brought so many of us such joy, as well as getting so much out of the students and giving them so much in return A future in the school theatre without her is devastating to me

KATY GOODWIN-BATES

Dear Kim, Thank you so much for inspiring Lily to perform in so many productions…she is currently away in Majorca after completing her A-levels but I know for sure that she has loved every one of the shows she has been involved in and has very much appreciated your support and guidance, as well as the huge amount of fun and laughs along the way… you will be greatly missed, for sure…all the very best for your move back to Cheshire!
