We will have a very special performance of the final Act of Shakespeare’s Othello in June. Students who studied the play last year for their iGCSEs expressed interest in performing a section of the play. Supported by Troy and a group of younger students they have adapted the 5th and Final Act of the play. It will be performed for the school community in a special performance at the end of June.
Another surprise initiative this past month has been our new student led Sudbury choir, comprising staff, students and parents. READ MORE HERE
