After yet another outstanding House Drama competition, the results have been announced, with Parks lifting the coveted trophy.  Parks were closely followed by Nightingale in 2nd place with a play which was full of humour and Hepburn with a polished performance finished 3rd.

The Lower Sixth and the Year 7s had a very challenging brief this year.  With rehearsals only able to take place in the Assembly Hall, to keep the two year groups separated in their bubbles it meant that the six Houses only had very limited rehearsal time. The Lower Sixth students directing were well prepared, creative and imaginative and thoroughly enjoyed working with the Year 7s to create something very special. There was a huge buzz on the three performance nights as each House took to the stage to perform to the Year 7s and Lower Sixth from another House.

Mrs Axford (Assistant Head) summed up the House Drama 2020 experience, she said: “The opportunity to be able to offer the House Drama live has been tremendously valuable this year. It has been very upbeat, a lot of fun and lovely to see the students developing confidence and skills in performance or directing roles.”  

Mrs Gibson (Headmistress) who was part of the judging panel, added: “All six houses did a fantastic job and all stood out with their outstanding performances. The girls worked incredibly hard under the current circumstances, especially the Lower Sixth who had to direct the performances from the upper balcony of the Assembly Hall!

“We were judging on interpretation of script, teamwork, support and choreography and general outstanding performances. Parks stood out most; their performance of Snow White was very creative and moved away from the traditional story. It made me (and the small audience) laugh the most – very well done!”
