We Will Rock You – School Edition!

In July 2024, the Performing Arts department, along with a team of our wonderful students and amazing staff staged We Will Rock You – School Edition!

The show was absolutely incredible!! It showcased the amazing talent of our students and staff with their acting, musical performances, dancing and singing skills. For the first time ever, we also had a fabulous live band for all of the music! The whole team have been rehearsing for many, many months and if you came along to the show, you will have seen and heard that all that hard work certainly paid off!

The story of We Will Rock You is set around 300 years in the future and tells the tale of a globalized future without musical instruments! Earth, aka iPlanet, is under the control of a corporation – Globalsoft, run by Killer Queen, who forces all the Ga Ga Kids to conform and consume the same culture, fashion, and ideas. But Galileo hears lyrics of lost songs in his dreams. With his sidekick Scaramouche and a handful of rock rebels, the Bohemians, they fight for freedom, individuality and the rebirth of the age of ROCK! The story and script for the show are by Ben Elton and the music and lyrics by Queen.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our show in any way – you are amazing and we couldn’t do this without you!

We would also like to thank everyone who came along to watch, we know that you will have had a wonderful time and your generosity in buying raffle tickets and school refreshments helped to raise £780.30 for Derian House and St.Catherine’s Hopsice.

We had a visit from Sophie, from St.Catherine's Hospice, on Thursday 18th July and Sophie said "A huge thank you to everyone who helped raise this for the hospice, we are really grateful"

Here are Will, Gabi and Zac showcasing the amazing amount donated to St.Catherine's Hospice

£440 pounds was also raised for Fairtrade with the sale of their delicious refreshments and girts. Money raised will be donated to Fairtrade to support Ghanaian cocoa farmers.
