YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR

Darcey took part in the Young Entrepreneurs Business Fair in Guildford on Saturday 15th April.

She was up against 44 other young entrepreneurs who were all showcasing their businesses. She was chosen by the BBC to be interviewed live on radio minutes before the fair started. Four prizes were up for grabs and after being interviewed by two separate teams of judges she scooped the top prize of “Judges’ Choice.” The feedback included, “amazing products, incredible stand, prices are clear and company branding superb.” Well done Darcey.

She will be selling her pottery at King Fest on Friday 5th May.

Year 7 Drama Festival

The Year 7 Drama Festival will be taking place Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th May. Pupils will have the opportunity to finalise any technical and last-minute rehearsals before being able to perform their pieces on the Wednesday evening on Mairlot Hall stage. This has always been a brilliant opportunity for pupils and one from which they will learn an great deal. This will be an informal in-house event and an opportunity for all of the Year 7 girls to perform in a production without the pressure of a public audience, but this will of course affect the pick up times for pupils on both nights.

On Tuesday 9th pick up will be 19:30 from Mairlot Hall and on Wednesday 10th pick up will be at 20:00 with dinner being provided on both evenings. No other extracurricular activities will be running on these evenings to ensure that pupils will be able to attend.
