A Celebrating the ARTS
Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate was recently awarded a Gold Artsmark.
ward-winning independent school, Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate (QE), are celebrating after receiving a prestigious Gold Award from Artsmark, who are accredited by Arts Council England. Artsmark offer the only creative quality standard for schools and to achieve the award, QE had to develop their arts and cultural provision to embed a broad and ambitious curriculum.
On receiving the award, Helen Stephenson, Head of Creative Arts at QE said: “We’re extremely proud of achieving our Gold Artsmark Award. We are committed to delivering a high-quality arts and cultural education and are looking forward to growing our provision alongside Artsmark.”
Dr Darren Henley OBE, Chief Executive of the Arts Council, said: “I would like to
congratulate Queen Ethelburga’s on their Artsmark Award. Becoming an Artsmark school demonstrates that through offering a broad, ambitious and creative curriculum, young people have the opportunity to develop character and resilience, increasing their knowledge, curiosity and skills that will remain with them through to adult life.”
The school offers an ambitious provision of over 30 courses across art and design, music, drama and dance with numerous opportunities throughout the year to perform and compete in individual and team disciplines. With an impressive 39 per cent of their students choosing to pursue Creative Arts subjects for GCSE, BTEC, or A Level in 2023-24, it is perhaps no surprise that QE regularly achieves recognition in national competitions.
In 2023 alone, students achieved a win,
runner up, and a highly commended in the ISA Arts Young Musician Competition, two Competition, a win in the ISA Shakespeare the ISA Musical Theatre Competition, and a win in the ISA Band Competition. And in creative arts, QE students enjoyed wins in the ISA National Art competition for KS5 3D Design (2023), KS4 Sketchbook (2023), and KS5 Photography (2022 and 2023) as well as regional success in 2023 with ISA Northern Arts wins for KS5 2D Art, KS4 3D Design, KS4 Photography, and KS5 Textiles.

“I’m Chintana, most people know me as Ton. I grew up in a village not far from the city of Ratchuburi in Thailand. I started cooking at a young age and used to cook for all my family.
Mai Dang was my first restaurant I opened when I was 18 years old. Six Years later, I met my husband and we decided to start a family in Doncaster.
Then this gave me the opportunity to open the first Thai Restaurant in Doncaster, The Bangkok Thai Restaurant.
Ten years of running a successful business, we wanted to expand and we decided to open the Bangkok Royal Elephant. Now we’re starting a new chapter by opening the only Thai Restaurant in Doncaster, Thai At The Sal.”

in Rouge- Moul
he sultry, mysterious atmosphere of Paris is coming to a theatre near you in an incredible show featuring all your favourite hits from the iconic movie-musical Moulin Rouge.
Come What May stars AJ and Curtis Pritchard (Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing With The Stars, Love Island) and a cast of West End performers and arrives at
This high-energy musical extravaganza, from leading producers Sisco Entertainment and promoters Cuffe & Taylor and Live Nation, is a guaranteed hit with all audiences looking for a night of non-stop entertainment.
more.
With ‘Come What May’, was it always the case that both of you were to be on board from the start, or one was
AJ: It was always both of us, to be able to do something together is fantastic. We say ‘no’ to so many different tours and different things and sometimes we might say to ourselves, “Why did we say no to that?” and then ‘Come What May’ came along and ‘this’ is why we said no to that, because this tour is the ultimate tribute to ‘Moulin Rouge’ and other fantastic musicals. And we get to add even more value to these songs that each person’s probably got a different emotional attraction to. Then
the energy; it’s overwhelming and such a fantastic opportunity to dance to these global hits. Personally, my favourite theatre show is Moulin Rouge.
Curtis: Yeah, I’ve got to admit it, it is a very good one and everybody can’t deny that.
So, it’ll be a show with massive songs from ‘Moulin Rouge’, with fans having high expectations. Surely that brings an element of nervousness to you as performers - performing those songs
Curtis: I’ll be nervous before going on nervous before going on for all the shows. I think nerves give you a bit of adrenaline and it gets you into the right mindset to rock ‘n’ roll. But, as of this moment, no, because some of my favourite songs are in it. ‘Your Song’, is perhaps one of my favourite songs to sing. ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’ isn’t my favourite song because you’re not gonna catch me singing that one on my own around the house! [Laughs]
AJ: No, I think what’s really exciting is usually with a tour you have the stress or the paranoia of, “OK, we’re not selling tickets” or the reception isn’t good or we mentioned it to friends and family who’ve said, “Oh, I think I’ll give that one a miss”. Whereas the reception to this has been so overwhelming because it’s got the ‘Moulin Rouge’ side, and people love musicals, people love to see a live show. And that’s
talk about this as each person we’ve talked to has a relevant connection to a song that will be used within the show. And that’s kind of the easy thing for us. All we have to do is just do what we do best, choreograph, dance, perform and enjoy what we already do.
What can we expect from your
Will it only be dancing, or are you
Curtis: Solo numbers, big group numbers; there’ll be singing here and there. Presenting, acting, the whole lot to be fair. AJ: Yeah, a bit of everything because
sometimes when you go to a theatre show, you don’t know what the storyline is, or what the concept of what the music will be. Whereas I think because it’s so well known we get to add that value. Yes, we’ll that!
Curtis will do one thing and I’ll be doing more of the presenting side. But what’s already there is so good and it’s quite nice to be able to come and see something and add an adaptation - if I could say - a numbers, but it’s really exciting to kind of build on something that’s so well known.
Lastly, you’ve got some of the biggest producers and promoters behind this tour, so could you say it’s shaping up
AJ: It’s great to be working with Sisco, Cuffe & Taylor and Live Nation. If you mention these names within the theatre world, you know, you’re going to get quality.
You’re getting something that they would not put their name to if they didn’t feel proud of it, I think that’s really important. In this day and age with the value of the pound, people are struggling and we want to give great value with this show, the set,
would be embarrassed to turn up and be like, “Oh no, this is not something I’d want to put my name to”. And I think that’s the hardest thing sometimes; it’s picking and choosing your battles, and who you want to work with. These are people that we want to work with. These are the producers that give it everything.

For all special OCCASIONS
Celebrate those memorable moments with Etc Bawtry.
Whatever occasion you’re looking to celebrate – birthdays, anniversaries, weddings
everything you need to mark these special days at Etc Bawtry.
For over 20 years, Etc has been offering residents of Bawtry, a unique and stylish collection of handmade cards, gifts, jewellery and home accessories, perfect for gifting. With its quirky British and international ranges, owner Elaine and her team work hard to bring customers an irresistible array of products.
“Every time there’s an occasion, we want to be your go-to place,” said owner Elaine, who had always dreamt of owning her own shop that stocked unusual and design-led products.
“I love my shop, customers and everything that I sell and couldn’t be happier that I took the plunge. It’s a lovely place to be.”
Ready for the new season are lots of new products, including home brands from Germany and Denmark, new ranges of jewellery, clothing and a re-stock of Maison Berger gifts and accessories.
But one of the biggest draws for customers, and one that gets them queuing outside of the door, is one of, if not, the largest collections of Jellycat toys in Yorkshire; these original, quirky soft toys are suitable from birth and continue to prove to be hugely popular. New arrivals land each week and even retired lines have been re-introduced. Elaine recently held a special Jellycat event which drew a huge crowd and more are planned for later in the year alongside other dedicated events.
“I feel really lucky to have some of the biggest brands but we also develop our own exclusive ranges too –
contemporary pieces by Pilgrim as well as delicate charm bracelets by Joma and sparkle from Konplott.
Whoever you are buying for and whatever the budget, you’ll be sure to provide the full package with a gift wrap with a beautiful bow.
“We pride ourselves on our customer service, we all love it gift for a customer,” said Elaine. “And if we don’t stock what they are looking for, we will always do our upmost to source the perfect gift for them.”
In addition to the shop, and for added convenience, Elaine will be launching a new website – www.things-
