Mary Poppins JR Success!

And that’s a wrap!!!

What an amazing experience Mary Poppins JR has been!

I couldn’t be more proud of our incredibly talented children and grateful of the help of my wonderful colleagues, who have all worked so hard to make our school show for 2025 as sensational as it was!

We started with a standing ovation on opening night, what more could we ask for?!

Thank you for all your kind words about our production, your support means so much to us all!

Well done to Aurelia K who won the raffle for the special Mary Poppins coin!

Please enjoy a selection of photos I managed to snap throughout our show nights.

A very proud, Mrs McNulty ❤ x
