The Creative and Expressive Arts Showcase

 

Thursday the 28th of March 2024 marked our third Creative and Expressive Arts Showcase at Cornerstone in Didcot. A Collaboration of dance, drama and music students performing classwork and work from their extra curricular clubs in these subjects. The show was a huge success in no small part to to the dedicated and hardworking Arts faculty; Miss King (Head of Creative & Creative Arts), Mrs McAuliffe (Head of Drama), Mrs Burbage (Head of Music) and Mrs Powell (Assistant Headteacher). The 81 students that took part had rehearsed tirelessy to make sure they put on an amazing show. The audience members were very happy with the level of professionalism of the show and they commeneted that the students showed ambition, respect and resilience during the rehearsal process.  
 

Miss Peruga (Head of Languages): “The students had clearly worked really hard for this show. It was really amazing and great for parents and staff to see the students’ progress, and even greater to see them enjoy themselves so much while performing. What a show!”
