The recent school production of Mary Poppins was nothing short of magical. From the moment the curtain rose, the audience was transported into the whimsical world of Cherry Tree Lane, brought to life with charm, talent, and a remarkable attention to detail.

The cast delivered outstanding performances across the board. Both Mary Poppins’ embodied the character with poise, grace, and a sparkling sense of fun—their crisp diction, confident stage presence, and strong vocals made every scene truly memorable. Both Bert’s, Mary’s charismatic chimney sweep companion, were equally delightful, balancing humor and heart.

The ensemble shone in big musical numbers like "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "Step in Time," showcasing impressive choreography and a contagious energy that had the entire hall clapping along.

Special mention must go to the technical crew and creative team who worked tirelessly to ensure smooth transitions and a polished performance.

What truly stood out was the heart behind the performance. Every student, whether in a lead role or the chorus, brought passion and commitment to their part. It was clear this was a labor of love, and the result was a show that not only entertained, but uplifted and inspired.

In every sense, this production was practically perfect in every way. Bravo to the entire cast and crew!

Highlight of the Week: A huge thank you to Miss Blundell for facilitating a collaboration with Reading College, where college students provided professional makeup and hair services for our performers. This gave our students an amazing opportunity for real-world experience!
