Welcome back to the new term.
We hope you have had an excellent summer and are raring to go for the new term.
Lots of excitement ahead with the show in October and examinations later in the term.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to lots of new students who are just joining our ballet family and say a fond farewell to some students who are leaving us to pursue their careers at University.
Good luck to Josie and Leah Sims who are both going to further their dance and musical theatre talents at University and to Emma Walton, Alice Papworth and Olivia Hinton who are all starting their Academic University journeys.

Saturday 3 September – Saturday 3 December
Monday 5 September – Monday 5 December
