This week, 45 Year 7 boys waited eagerly in the wings for the curtain to rise on the first show of the academic year – Sherlock and Cinders!
Every boy was in full costume and some had donned fancy wigs and sparkly eyeshadow! The audience’s response was one of joy and amusement as the year group managed to pull out all the stops on a fantastic production. Their hard work paid off and it was a near faultless performance.
The school play is a wonderful opportunity for the boys to showcase hidden talents and build upon their wealth of skills. So much confidence and enthusiasm was on display that you would have been hard pressed to leave the performance without a smile you your face.
