dazzling with dickens

What a show!

This week, our incredibly talented Year 6 pupils wowed audiences with their captivating production of Dazzling with Dickens — and they truly sparkled on stage!

The performance took us on a whistle-stop journey through Charles Dickens’ life and works. From learning about his challenging childhood — including time spent in a gruelling factory and visits to the Marshalsea — to discovering how these experiences shaped his writing, the children brought history to life with confidence and flair.

We were then treated to wonderful performances of Gabriel Grub and Great Expectations, showcasing not only their acting skills but also their ability to master complex language, lightning-fast scene and costume changes, and impressive four-part singing and dancing.

This was no small feat — but every single child rose to the challenge with enthusiasm, resilience, determination and, above all, fantastic teamwork.

Mrs Brundle and Mrs McEwan couldn’t be prouder of the entire cast and crew.
