The Evening of Entertainment, staged on 23rd November, featured the cream of talent from drama, dance and music was a sell out performance. Over 125 students from across the year groups entertained the crowd with pieces they have been rehearsing at any available opportunity!

The standard of the show was brilliant and the commitment from students and teachers alike was highly commendable. Stars they are one and all!

Thank you to all who performed. Without you the show wouldn’t have been possible. Thanks also to all the Year 11’s for their help and commitment.
