Last Friday, our Year 10 students immersed themselves in the world of Shakespeare during our annual Shakespeare Day. The programme was designed to bring Elizabethan culture to life through hands-on, creative experiences.

Students took part in a series of rotating workshops, including drama, dance, and calligraphy. The drama sessions focused on performance technique and interpretation, while the dance workshops introduced students to traditional Shakespearean-era choreography. In calligraphy, students crafted decorative pieces inspired by historical writing styles.

A highlight of the day was the banquet-style lunch, where students enjoyed the chance to share food together in keeping with the theme of the day.

In the afternoon, each class presented a performance of the play they have been studying this term. This year's selected works were A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing. Students brought these stories to life on the auditorium stage, demonstrating creativity, collaboration, and an impressive understanding of the texts.
