Hairspray Jr (18th and 19th July 2019)
 |
Our year 6 production this year is going to be Hairspray! Jr, which will be performed at the Gulbenkian Theatre at Kent University. As is traditional, the school will have the exciting opportunity to watch our dress rehearsal.
Hairspray Jr is an adaptation of the Broadway musical, for young performers and audiences. It is a play set in 1960s America, a time of shocking, government-imposed racial segregation. The play is the rousing story of a young girl who attempts to oppose segregation in the city of Baltimore, and, aided by her friends, is ultimately successful. Read more here...
Performances will be held on Thursday 18th July and Friday 19th July at 7pm in the Gulbenkian theatre. Tickets are available from the school office.

Global Voice: Our Spanish school exchange experience
 |
Last week 23 members of our upper school choir travelled with 5 staff to visit our exchange school near Madrid.
In the Spanish heat we visited their Royal Palace and Cathedral, had a tour of a Monastery where the King of Spain once lived and even held insects during a workshop at a local insect park. We all swam in an outdoor pool (on the hottest day when temperatures reached 37 degrees Celsius!) and performed with our Spanish partner school in their city Auditorium. It was a wonderful week of music and bonding with our partner school. Read more about our experience on our International Links page and watch our video montage of the trip. Alternatively our video is on our YouTube channel.
Parents are invited to an assembly on Monday 17th June 2019 (9.15am) to hear the choir perform and share their experiences of visiting Madrid.
Year 3's learn about farming and healthy eating
Our year 3's visited the Living Land this first week of May, a 'one day event offered to Kent school children in years 3 and 4 aimed at educating young children in the areas of farming, agriculture, countryside and healthy eating'. Set within the beautiful landscape of the Kent Showground, the children took advantage of this wonderful opportunity and learned a great deal about various animals and farming and even tasted some delicious food on offer from Kent's distinguished agricultural community.
