After several months of after school weekly workshops we descended into the Theatre on a lovely sunny Sunday morning to get ready for the final performance. The play, devised by the students with Ange, was inspired by the theme of “Everything is Political”. We were really proud of their performance and to see our students perform with such confidence on the stage of the oldest working theatre in the country was fantastic. Well done to all of them and to Parents and Friends who supported the students.

Volunteers from Carillion and local businesses, including the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Justice, were kind enough to give up their time to interview the students. For the students, a thoroughly enjoyable, slightly nerve wracking day! Plenty of positive feedback from the volunteers. Well done Year 10!
