As part of a busy month of performances we had the Junior Play: The Witches . Directed by Gavin Bromley ‘Hilarious’, ‘Bonkers’ and ‘riotous’ are just some of the comments from our audiences as they watched Roald Dahl’s characters come to life on the stage of the Blake theatre in November.  After the loss of his parents in a car accident our protagonist ‘Boy’ ( Rosie Brew) , goes to live with his grandmother (Alice Stevens), who tells about the boy about how Witches live amongst us and their dislike of children. Due to the Grandmothers ill health they go on a relaxing break to the ‘The Grand Hotel, little do they know that the Witches AGM is being held at the same time at the hotel, where the Grand High Witch has hatched a plan to turn all the children in England in to mice! Boy befriends Bruno (Samson O'Farrel) at the hotel both of which are caught by the witches and turned to mice themselves but nor to be out done they hatch a plan to use the same methods to turn all The Witches in to mice themselves. With a cast of over 30 Fourth form students The witches had the audience in hysterics through out , very well done to all involved !

In November, an exceptional cast of senior pupils took to the stage at the Norwich Playhouse to present Jesus Christ Superstar. This powerful production explored how the well-known story resonates in today’s world—a world of online influencers with millions of ‘followers’, where public figures can rise and fall in an instant. Much like the Roman Empire of the time, we see vibrant political personalities dominating the media, often surrounded by questions of motive and allegiance. Audiences loved the portrayal of a politically active, anti-establishment new generation rebelling against the dominance of Roman rule. "Wow! - What a performance!" "I was nearly moved to tears and it was incredibly emotional." "Close your eyes and you might just be in the West End!" The principals, led by Ben Griffiths and Louis Baker, were outstanding—tackling a challenging vocal score with seeming ease and conveying the emotional intensity of each character with real maturity. The entire cast demonstrated talent and professionalism far beyond their years. It was a truly special production—one that will not be forgotten in a hurry.
