And that brings to a close the three-night run of The Addams Family Musical — three truly outstanding nights of performance by every single student involved. Watching these young performers take to the stage and absolutely shine has been nothing short of inspiring. The level of talent on display was exceptional, and every performance was packed with humour, atmosphere, and stunning lighting, all matched by wonderfully supportive audiences each night. Productions like this don’t happen by chance. They are the result of immense hard work, careful planning, and unwavering dedication. A massive congratulations goes to all of the incredible students who made this show what it was — not only those on stage, but also the amazing teams working tirelessly behind the scenes, from lighting and sound to stage management and crew. Huge thanks must also go to the fantastic staff who guided and supported this production: Mr Bartlett, Miss Cardin-Stewart, Miss Everett, Miss Seabury, and Mr Jeffs. The final curtain call was an emotional one, filled with tears, pride, and genuine camaraderie — a true reflection of the confidence, growth, and bonds formed throughout this journey. You should all be immensely proud of what you’ve achieved. Finally, thank you to all the parents for your continued support — we truly hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did. More photos will be shared soon!

This morning, the top 15 students from each year group — those with the highest merit totals this term — came together to celebrate their fantastic achievements. We shared a small sweet treat before moving into a raffle with a fun twist, complete with surprises and plenty of laughter. Every student left with a smile and a real sense of pride in what they’ve accomplished. It was a lovely way to recognise their hard work and end the week on a positive note.
