Our whole school community thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s theatre production, ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’. The stage set, costumes and lighting transformed the hall and the children absolutely loved the story as well as all the songs to sing and clap along to. I was delighted when the cast approached me after the show to say that it was one of the best-behaved, enthusiastic and participative audiences they’d encountered…. a lovely compliment for our fantastic pupils!

We have six Pupil Voice groups in St Bartholomew’s: Forward Together, Faith in Action, Impact, Eco, Health for Life and Rights Respecting Schools. Our six upper school Pupil Voice groups met yesterday morning and new chairpersons and secretaries were appointed. The infant groups meet later today and then the six chairs will attend a business meeting in my office on Friday to feed back to me the discussions, ideas and decisions of their group. There is a dedicated Pupil Voice section on the school website, so please keep an eye on this to stay up-to-date with the work of our Pupil Voice groups.
