Work is well underway with our 2016 Schools Programme. Our talented team are working in five Newham schools over a six week period to produce six Year Six end of term shows on the theme of “Best of British”.

The programme was devised by Vincent Hayes in collaboration with inspirational Head Teacher, Tom Canning. Tom was one of three exceptional school leaders to be singled out for praise by Ofsted’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw earlier this year. Sir Michael wrote to Tom personally to congratulate him on his success in supporting significant improvement in several local schools, including his own school, Tollgate Primary.

This year our team will be working with Tollgate, Selwyn, Carpenters and Cleves Schools, as well as Central Park Primary, who will be performing two Year Six shows.
