The Wizard of Oz (sort of)
With just a couple of rehearsals, a team of staff put on an impromptu pantomime for the children on the last day of term: The Wizard of Oz! There was a fine effort with costumes and face paint! We think the children enjoyed the show… We certainly seemed to get an excited and smiley Read…

I think this week has been the busiest I can remember for school tours for prospective families: four separate tours with at least a dozen families.
