MESSAGES FROM THE WGS STAFF

Thanks for putting smiles on so many of our students' faces with your work, Kim! All the best with your next chapter!

Mark Gill

Kim - you have brought such an air of joy, passion and professionalism to school productions, My all time favourite has to be 'School of Rock' - the singing, playing and performing were all first class, and I left work that evening feeling uplifted We will miss you!"

Thank you for the best WGS shows! It has been such a joy to hear the students buzz with excitement before a production, create lifelong friendships across the year groups during rehearsals, build a confidence on stage that they have never exhibited before, and burst with pride when it was all over. And you always managed to execute this with professional precision and a warm supportive smile!

Thank you, Kim, for directing and producing some outstanding productions over the last few years My absolute favourite was 'Blue Stockings' which combined a powerful tale with more light-hearted moments You have encouraged a broad spectrum of students to take to the boards (or the grass) and nurtured many with a love of the theatre. Wishing you every success and happiness as you move away from Yorkshire. x

Thank you for providing my son with 'the best night' of his life in 'The School of Rock' His confidence has soared because of the opportunity you provided I will always be grateful. What you do matters. Thank you.

LISA OAKLEY

I didn't want to write anything specific about one because I have loved them all, for varying reasons Just that in general, I have loved all the productions which Kim has organised in all the years that she has been here It is clear to see the hours of work and dedication that she has shown towards the productions and the students as they have flourished on the stage.

DIANE, PAT, LINDSAY AND JOANNE X

From Miss Honey’s tear-jerking ‘My House’ in Double Dahl, to the iconic Legally Blonde and most recently the absolutely epic School of Rock - with a live band on stage! - I cannot imagine seeing more talented, professional productions at a secondary school and that’s all down to you and your team. Thank you for these wonderful memories. Taking my girls to your productions has been the highlight of my year. ❤

REBECCA SHARPE

Thank you for supporting, challenging and inspiring Caragh It is great to see the hard work frown, the focused concentration and the biggest smile when she has been part of the shows Thank you for seeing what she could do instead of what she couldn't. She has loved the responsibility you have given her and the fun and laughter that she has found as part of the backstage. I know that being part of the shows is something she will treasure forever. Good luck in the future.

All the best Claire and Caragh

Dear Kim,

Jemmett

Thank you for always being such a positive member of staff I have enjoyed all of your productions and love that so many pupils get cameo performances alongside the lead roles It enables even more pupils to shine. I am a HUGE fan of the hour-long format – please let this be your legacy!

Good luck with your new venture. Alex
