Our Talent Show was a remarkable evening, with polished acts and some really astonishing abilities on show. We were all blown away by the comedians and musicians: we laughed, cried and beamed with pride. In addition, we managed to raise an incredible £849 during the event, which will be split between Guide Dogs and Cancer Research.
The winner was Milo, who won the show with his wow factor guitar performance. Second place was a beautiful rendition of Back to Black by Gracie and Sophia. Third was Noah performing his stunning contemporary dance routine. Congratulations to everyone who took part in such a memorable event.
The whole event was planned, organised and run by a student team of Ted S, Archie B and Daisy A. We would like to say a big thank you to them for managing the publicity, organising auditions, contacting local businesses and asking for raffle prizes to raise money for Cancer Research and Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Thanks also go to Colin Mister from our governors, who was a judge on the night – a difficult role!
Head Teacher Mr Eddy said: “At their first meeting with me they arrived in my office with the proposal and all of them had a file with virtually every aspect of the project all arranged. They then approached staff to help them.
“They ran the whole evening, managing the acts, staff and generally hosting the event. They were professional, funny and very slick indeed. In short, I have never seen a school event organised and run by students as well as the one last night.
“We all experienced the real sense of joy for all the acts and it made me very proud of our students. It was great to see how they flourished when given the opportunity.”
