The students then worked in groups, as actors, designers and theatre technicians to bring the stories to life on stage. The mini pantomimes included Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan, […]

This time it was a group of Debaters who took part in the English-Speaking Union Public Speaking Competition, the largest public speaking competition for Schools in England and Wales. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, the contest attracts around 400 teams of pupils from Years 9-11.
