The Paper Birds

Thursday saw our Year 10, 12 and 13 students have the opportunity to work with 'The Paper Birds'.

The Paper Birds is a devising theatre company, with a social and political agenda. They are recognised as UK leaders in verbatim theatre. They're artists, investigators, entrepreneurs, educators. They pride ourselves on taking complex, multi-faceted subjects and making them accessible. They have an artistic programme and a creative learning programme and nurture both equally.

Students had a fantastic time creating material for devised pieces, they were able to try out the methods and work collaboratively.

Well Done Year 10, 12 & 13!

Wear a Hoodie Day - Friday 6th May

Thank you to all who took part in the year 11 fundraising day last Friday. There were certainly some colourful garments on display. The Prom Committee managed to raise a total of £269 which will be put towards a photo booth at the year 11 Prom on July 4th. We then had an incredible anonymous donation of £200 to add to this amount.
In total, this had paid the full balance for the hire of the booth, and Ms Kemal has added a sweet cart and doughnut stall to the evening's festivities. I hope our year 11 focus fully on their exams for the next 6 weeks then we can enjoy an evening of celebrations.

The photo booth on the evening comes with the following...

  • Two professional attendants
  • 3 hrs running time
  • Prop Box packed full of Wigs, Glasses Hats & quirky silliness
  • Large selection of Green Screen Backgrounds to suit your quirky theme
  • Guests welcome to use the photo booth as many times as they like
  • The photo booth prints 2 copies of every print / 4 Strips
  • Custom designed photo template with name and date of event on each print
  • Social Media Upload / Password Protected Gallery
  • Personalised hard-backed guest book for your guests to stick a copy of the print out and write a message
  • USB Stick containing all images supplied after event
