Clowns at Midnight

Our largest Performing Arts event of the academic year will be on Wednesday 2nd April, 2014, at 6 and 8pm.

All pupils should have brought a letter about how to obtain tickets, but if this has been misplaced, please print out and return the letter, found here: Clowns at Midnight letter.

It is intended as a commemoration of centenary of the outbreak of World War One, and will be designed to represent theme connected with the war in a respectful manner. A large variety of curriculum classes and extra-curricular groups will take part and we hope that it will be an inspiring project to be involved in. More details will follow as we begin work, but we intend to use a very long thrust stage, and have seating around three sides of the stage area, which will stretch right out into the hall floor.
