Schoolchildren put on a show!

AFTER WEEKS of rehearsals, singing practices and costume making, Rothley schoolchildren in Year 4 took to the stage at The Palmer Tomkinson Centre, a fullsized theatre within Birstall's Cedars Academy to perform Dragon Days.

A Rothley Church of England Academy spokesperson said: “Children in Year 3 provided wonderful singing to accompany the performance in March, and we are sure they are excited to think it will be their turn to take on the acting roles next year!

“As ever, when children of Rothley Church of England Academy perform, they exceed all expectations! It was a sell-out event for family members and friends.

“We are unbelievably proud of the children and all the hard work they put into these performances. However, events such as this would not be possible without the tireless hard work and commitment of all the staff involved in putting together these productions. We are hugely grateful to them for giving up their evenings to allow our pupils to have such an incredible experience.”
