I’d like to take this opportunity to reflect with all parents on how the last few weeks have really highlighted the importance of the Arts provision in our school – it is our school’s commitment to the Arts that really makes Freddie’s unique. It has been fabulous to see so many students involved in our recent production of Grease – not just on stage but also backstage assisting with the technical aspects of theatre. Next week sees our Evening of Dance, and as a Dad of two daughters who both dance, I fully understand how important performance events like this are in building confidence – we will have over 100 students involved next week. On Wednesday our school’s Film Club’s latest offering was also premiered. As well as these showcase events, we have our Music concerts, script writing competitions, Brass Band performances, Drama evenings as well as regular theatre visits and professional performances held in school. Sitting alongside this is also the fabulous work of our Visual Arts Team who develop many exciting projects which give students the opportunity to develop their talents and showcase their brilliant and creative work in the community and beyond.
