SCHOOL OF ROCK

Following a very successful West End run, Andrew Lloyd Webbers smash hit, Olivier award-winning musical School of Rock has begun its tour across the United Kingdom. The show will be rocking its way to Woking’s New Victoria Theatre from 27 September for one week only, with audiences being able to ‘Stick It To The Man’ before the show then continues its tour around the rest of the country.

This musical reinvention of the hilarious and iconic, hit film School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally performed live by the production’s very talented young actors every night with sass, confidence, and roofraising energy! While teaching these pint-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within. featured in the film, this high-octane smash hit delivers face-melting guitar riffs and touching romance in equally awesome doses.

With raving five star reviews School of Rock has been described as a “triumph” – The Sunday Times, the “most enjoyable few hours money can buy” – The Daily Telegraph and “a feel good experience with a hint of anarchic wildness” – Evening Standard.

Get ready for a head-banging good time at the New Victoria Theatre when School of Rock storms in to Woking this September. n

Mosaic is a branch of the Countryside Restoration Trust, a wildlife charity that has championed nature-friendly farming for almost 30 years. The Mosaic mission is to teach farming and wildlife fundamentals to the next generation while igniting their curiosity in the natural world, all within a safe and stimulating learning environment.

This new education programme delivers a unique farming and wildlife experience to primary school pupils, by blending the adventure of the countryside with key learning outcomes aligned to the national curriculum. Pupils and teachers of Reception, KS 1 and 2 classes can enjoy a bespoke and illuminating learning experience on a beautiful 400 acre farm in the heart of the Surrey countryside.

Pierrepont farm is a stunning and wildlife-rich farm that provides a diversity of habitats for native plants and animals, all while operating as a busy and bustling dairy farm. The woods provide a haven for minibeasts, mammals and a birds, while the pond area is teeming with wildlife both beneath the surface and within the surrounding hedgerow. We offer pupils the opportunity to visit the dairy cow barn and get up close to the resident award-winning Jersey herd. If that wasn’t exciting enough, pupils can also see the robot milking parlour in action. Available to school groups of up to 30 students, we offer a choice of three themed programmes, including Woodland Adventure, Pond Explorer and Dairy Cow Discovery. Each theme has been expertly crafted by education professionals to offer the perfect blend of learning and enjoyment. Teachers can even combine the different themes with our Pick ‘n’ Mix option to create a truly bespoke visit adventure. Whatever you choose, our farm backdrops and settings are sure to capture the imagination of any aspiring scientist.

Nature and wildlife have played an immensely important role in children’s lives over the past year, while learning from home during the lockdown. Mosaic is here to help teachers build on this curiosity and forge strong links between our communities and their local countryside by helping children piece together the farming and wildlife mosaic.

Trips are available Tuesday to Thursday from March to October and sessions take place from 10.00am to 2.15pm. Bookings can be made by contacting the Mosaic team or via the website.
