Dance

Let’s Dance

Let's Dance recently held their annual performance at the

Congress Theatre, Eastbourne. Let’s Dance brings together

young people from local schools and colleges in a unique

celebration of dance. The Year 10 Dance Company performed,

"Lay Me Down", a piece they choreographed themselves. Well

done to all pupils who took part.

The Dance Showcase

It was so lovely to see all the dance companies back on stage loving what they

do. With dance numbers from street dance, ballet and jazz to name a few, with

additional choreography from Year 10 and 11 pupils. Special recognition to Millie,

Mollie, Ella and Shanon who worked tirelessly on the choreography. Year 11 pupils

completed their final exams in the evening with fantastic feedback from audience

members.Thank you to all who supported the event and for your generous

donations. A big thank you to the PTFA who were on hand to provide refreshments.

Trinity Laban

We were delighted to be invited to spend the day at Trinity

Laban in London. The pupils received a tour of the building, a

talk about CAT (The Centre for Advanced Training) and Dance

careers, pupils had the opportunity to watch CAT ballet and CAT

contemporary technique classes and then take part in a practical

class. We were also able to see what St Richard’s pupils have

been up to while attending the CAT programme. Click here for

Recruitment

We are very happy to welcome Miss K Cronin to our team

as a Teaching Assistant. Miss Cronin spent time in our

SEND team at St Richard’s in the past as a volunteer, and

we are delighted to see her re-join our team after adding to

her experience at another school.

GCSE examinations

Very good luck to all pupils completing their GCSEs, and

to Year 10s, who following their mock exam results will no

doubt be motivated to start revising early. Today is always

better than tomorrow - or, even better, both! Click here for

some revision tips.

We also look forward to seeing Year 11 at the Prom after

completing their exams.
