Cast Announcement – Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
Today we announced the cast for our upcoming Summer Show ‘Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’. The children have worked incredibly hard throughout the audition process and we are so proud of their enthusiasm, bravery and talent.
We understand that some children may feel disappointed if they didn’t receive the part they were hoping for. However, every role – whether a lead, ensemble or behind the scenes helper – is crucial to making our show a success.
We reminded the children that theatre is about more than just individual roles; it’s about storytelling, teamwork, and having fun! Every member of the cast and crew is valued, and we cannot wait to see them shine on stage.
As always, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to an amazing production!
Mrs Terras, Mrs McIntyre, Miss Dorby, Mr Bertoncini

The trip is booked for Wednesday 18th June . The buses will leave the school at 9.30am and the children will be back at school in time for normal school pick up at 3pm.
If your child does not wish to attend the trip, they will need to stay at home on the day as there will be no provision for them in school.
We are very grateful to St. Vincent De Paul who have made a very generous donation towards our buses which has helped to keep the cost per child down.
We have set up the trip on Parentpay today with an initial NON- REFUNDABLE deposit of £8 payable by Friday 2nd May . This will leave only one more payment of £8 to be paid by Friday 30th May.
Permission forms will be sent home this week. These must be returned no later than Friday 30th May.
