    What a Show! A HUGE well done to everyone who took part in our Talent Show – what an incredible evening of talent, courage, and creativity! From jaw-dropping singing and dazzling dance routines to staff acts, comedy acts, and everything in between – our pupils truly shone on stage. We're so proud of every single performer for stepping up and sharing their talents with such confidence and enthusiasm. A big thank you as well to all the staff, and pupils for their support – the energy and encouragement in the room made it even more special. Well done to Ashleigh and Evie for coming out on top
