Performing Arts Programme
Autumn/Winter 2022
Introduction
We are very proud to present our Winter Performing Arts Programme.
The Performing Arts are an integral part of our school, providing the students with amazing opportunities to push themselves, develop their self-confidence and acquire new skills – skills that they will carry through into the classroom and beyond.
The programme features a comprehensive range of performances – involving some of the youngest students in the School to the oldest. We look forward to sharing them with you.
