Great job everyone!

Mid Summer Mela @ IMS

Thank you to all the parents and friends who came along to support our showcase of the Mid Summer Mela.

The staff and pupils have been working very hard for the last few weeks preparing  for this big event and lots of new skills have been gained.

I’m sure you will all agree it was a wonderful experience to see all the pupils performing, from Macbeth to Bollywood Reels on Wheels and an African journey.

A special thanks to the girls from the Woodfarm Bollywood Dance Crew who supported our young people and helped to choreograph one of the dances.
