Murder Mystery provides night to remember

The 2024-25 academic year ended on a high note with the return of our much-loved Murder Mystery evening. This year’s production, Who Shot the Sheriff? brought together staff from across the school for a comedy whodunnit filled wit laughter, intrigue and plenty of surprises.

The Drama Studio was transformed into a Wild West setting for the performance, and families and friends enjoyed an evening of entertainment, ‘Cowboy Supper’ and the chance to test their detective skills. Guests also joined in the fun by dressing in cowboy-themed costumes, with a prize awarded to the best dressed.

This year’s show was also particularly special as it featured the final performances of Mr Grant and Mr Barker, who both retired at the end of this academic year following long and distinguished teaching careers. It was a joy to see them take to the stage one last time, alongside colleagues, in front of our school community. We also celebrated the acting talents of Mrs Barker, who now joins her husband in village life.

Our heartfelt thanks go to all the staff involved, our families for their support, and everyone who contributed to making the evening such a memorable success. It was a fitting way to mark the end of term, the end of an era for much-loved colleagues, and a wonderful example of the community spirit at the heart of Bridgewater School.
