Year 11 Blood Brothers Theatre Trip
Fri 07 Mar 2025YEAR 11 THEATRE TRIP BLOOD BROTHERS
On Wednesday, our Year 11 students had the fantastic opportunity to see Blood Brothers at the New Wimbledon Theatre. Willy Russell’s powerful and moving musical tells the heart breaking story of Mickey and Edward, twin brothers separated at birth and raised in completely different social classes—one in poverty, the other in privilege. Despite their vastly different upbringings, fate continually brings them back together, leading to a tragic and emotional climax.
With its gripping narrative, sharp social commentary, and unforgettable songs like Marilyn Monroe and Tell Me It’s Not True, Blood Brothers captivated everyone in the audience.
However, the drama didn’t end when the curtain fell! On the journey home, our train was unexpectedly cancelled, turning our trip into an adventure of its own. Showing true resilience, teamwork, and (very fittingly) a flair for the dramatic, the students swiftly adapted to the situation—racing to catch an alternative train with moments to spare. There were quick decisions, fast footwork, and a few gasps of relief as we made it back safely.
A huge well done to everyone for their fantastic attitude throughout the trip. A memorable evening of theatre and teamwork—worthy of a standing ovation!

War Horse theatre trip
Mon 20 Jan 2025On Wednesday, some of our year 10 and 11 students embarked on an exciting trip to experience the critically acclaimed production of War Horse at The New Victoria Theatre in Woking.
Students were captivated by the emotional depth of the story, which follows the journey of a boy and his horse during World War I.
The production’s use of life-sized horse puppets, operated with incredible precision by skilled puppeteers, was a highlight. The intricate movements and lifelike details brought the animals to life, leaving the audience in awe.
Beyond its technical brilliance, the play offered valuable lessons about resilience, friendship, and the cost of war.
Students expressed how the performance deepened their appreciation for live theatre and its ability to tell powerful stories.
We look forward to our next theatrical adventure!
