We were astounded by the musical and dramatic talents of our Year 8 children in their production of the Jungle Book at the end of the Autumn Term 2021.

We were transported out of the Performing Arts Centre and into a concrete jungle, with vines and tropical plants climbing the walls of the towers which framed our multidimensional set. The modern twist on this classic tale, written by Jessica Swale, featured funky gypsy jazz rhythms and witty lyrics by Joe Stilgoe, performed in-house by our brilliant band, and contemporary costumes and make up that made our Year 8 cohort unrecognisable – in all the right ways.

The children also managed stage lighting and props to rival that of a professional production.
