Drama
Firstly, a huge congratulations to the Year 11 Drama pupils who finished their GCSE studies this term. They have done
amazingly well and we look forward to seeing them again on results day. Good luck to them in their future studies. Year
10 are now fast approaching their Component 2 assessment, and so far their performances are looking fantastic. KS3
Drama clubs will resume in the new academic year, and we look forward to welcoming pupils back. We also look forward to
welcoming the current Year 9's who have chosen Drama for GCSE in September, and can't wait to see what they bring to the
Performing Arts department. Have a fabulous summer! Miss Jefferies, Teacher of Drama

Last Sunday, members of the choir had the phenomenal
opportunity to perform ‘Viva La Vida’ and ‘Toreador’ with the
Hastings Sinfonia, Polo Piatti and other musical guests. Their
professional, pitch perfect, polished performance has opened
doors to more opportunities - such as working with the
famous composer Paul Lewis. Here is his website for further
