Students shine at Curve Theatre

On Monday 17th November, our incredible group of Year 8 students stepped onto the stage at Curve to perform a condensed 30-minute version of The Tempest as part of the Shakespeare Schools Festival.

The students have been rehearsing since September, meeting once a week to prepare for this exciting opportunity. For many, it was their first time performing on stage, which made the experience even more special. Despite having only eight rehearsals, they worked hard and supported each other to create a performance full of confidence and creativity.

Their efforts were commended too, with the festival director praising the group for their imaginative approach and highlighted the opening storm dance as a fantastic way to start the event. Watching the students come together as an ensemble and bring Shakespeare’s words to life was a proud moment for everyone involved.

We would like to thank parents, staff and the Trust for making this possible. It was an unforgettable experience for our students and a wonderful celebration of teamwork, talent and determination.
