Global Voice success at St Edmund's School Theatre
 |
Our annual Music, Dance and Singing performance filled St Edmund's Theatre earlier this week and showcased the talents of 160 children.
Pupils from St. Stephen's Infant and Junior School, previous pupils and our visiting Partner school from Madrid collaborated to perform a medley of music, dance and song from around the globe. The show was a sell-out and a number of dignitaries attended.
Pictured in the photo to the right are; Mr Stuart Pywell (Headteacher), Sheriff, Cllr Jeanette Stockley, and her escort Cllr Ian Stockley, Virginia Villar (English Teacher) and Maria Jesus (Headteacher of CEIPSO Principe Don Felipe of Madrid) who can be seen preparing to enjoy the show.
We also wish to thank St Edmund's School and staff for the use of their Theatre and Recital hall for the show this year.
Red Nose Day - children laugh for Comic Relief
St. Stephen’s had a fantastic day raising money for Comic Relief. In assembly the year 3's had the whole school laughing watching them tell jokes and pulling funny faces before learning about the importance of Comic Relief. The assembly finished on a high with most of the teachers getting splatted by a few lucky children. With the sale of raffle tickets, contributions for wearing something red and the cake sale, we are pleased to announce that we have made a whopping £650, so well done everybody and thank you for your support.

Despite intense lobbying of the Government and Department for Education by Headteachers, matters remain extremely challenging.
