Foreword

Looking through this magazine, it seems quite incredible what our students have managed to accomplish in just one term!

The early experiences of performance at Lower Primary level introduce students to the preparation involved in stage productions and the Upper Primary Department certainly demonstrated a wealth of talent in the Year 6’s show. Performances in assemblies are an important vehicle for students to become comfortable on stage and taking them out into the community provides an opportunity for them to become connected to the community in which we live.

Bringing all the departments together for the Ruth Henderson Concert was a great way to celebrate the talent of our students and once again proved an enjoyable event for all.

Key Stage 3 students took centre stage in the latter part of this term with the Middle School Production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Shakespeare Speaks. The quality of theatre was the result of the hard work of everyone involved and the cohesive teamwork both on and off stage.

From the summative assessed performances of GCSE/A Level, AP Music and Drama and ABRSM Exams to the high profile renditions of the varied repertoire in the Spring Concert, Secondary School students rose to the challenge of setting high standards of performance.

It will be sad to see the Sassy Saxes disbanding, but as someone once said “Life is a journey with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all experiences to enjoy” and it is these experiences that will remain etched in the memories of these students and have the ability to change lives.

Students, parents and performing arts supporters, thank you for all your hard work, support and friendship and have a fantastic Summer!
