Yesterday, we took 48 wonderful Y8 students to London. They were put through their paces at @pineappledance exploring a scene from ‘The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe’.

In the afternoon, we were wowed by the fantastic stage show!

On Saturday, our wonderful ‘Romeo and Juliet’ cast gave up five hours of their weekend to create some amazing physical theatre moments for the show.

Thank you to @lukebrowncompany for such an inspiring day!
