Pupils Shine in National EE Advertising Campaign

We’re delighted to share some fantastic news about a group of our talented young people who recently took part in auditions with MTP for a national EE advertising campaign promoting safer mobile phone use for young people.

After initial auditions back in June, an incredible 18 pupils were recalled for second and third auditions — and many of them can now be spotted in the final advert!

Our amazing pupils involved were:
C McLaughlan, N Ayordine, J Olatunji, K Bader, M Idriss, M Haider, J McHugh, I McHugh, L Brennan, A Smith, I Cheung, R Stanbridge, M Afeez, M Williamson, A Coburn, C Byrne, A Milliken, A Kyle, T Christie, E Fitzgerald, M Gracie and S Barrie.

A special shout-out goes to L Brennan, who was a natural on camera and one of the standout stars of the advert! He’s absolutely delighted and has even caught the attention of a talent agency following his performance.

A huge well done to all of our pupils who took part and represented King’s Park so brilliantly. We’re so proud of your confidence, creativity and professionalism throughout this experience.

Break a leg, and who knows where this could lead next!

Grease – School Show 2025

Last week saw our run of performances of this year’s school show, Grease. The run was a total triumph with a huge number of parents, carers, family and friends coming along to show their support for which we are so grateful. Our amazing cast were absolutely phenomenal, making us, the school and themselves proud. They have been working incredibly hard in rehearsals since October and putting in a string of evening and weekend rehearsals over the final weeks which absolutely paid off.

Now for us to start thinking about next year…………
