The Wolves of Willoughby Chase

half-term ended with areal treat for the children of Key Stage 2, as we played host to our good friends of the Nuffield Theatre who put on a visually stunning performance of  'The Wolves of Willoughby Chase' for us. The audience were absolutely spellbound for a couple of hours as they were transported to an alternative version of Victorian history, which also explored themes of loyalty, friendship and trust.
We have a real commitment to enriching children's learning through culturally significant plays, literature and art- this production was by common consent probably the most engaging and enjoyable production we have hosted. We thoroughly recommend getting along to catch it at the Nuffield Theatre.



Violin Concert

Last Wednesday saw the first concert given by our strings section. Year 3 have been learning to play the violin since September, and really gave a fantastic display of their growing musical ability. Many proud parents looked on as we were treated to a range of pieces of varying styles and complexity.
Our increasingly talented woodwind players provided some contrast with a very confident performance. Another step closer to the Swaythling symphony orchestra!
