Prep production brings the magic

The summer term of 2025 saw our Key Stage 2 pupils dazzle audiences with a vibrant and heartwarming performance of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR – a beloved tale of love, transformation and the enduring power of kindness.

Set in a provincial town, the story follows Belle, a bright and courageous young woman, as she encounters the Beast, a once-prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. The Beast must learn to love and be loved in return before the last petal falls from the enchanted rose, or he and his household will remain cursed forever.

The production was a true celebration of creativity, teamwork and personal growth. As with all our performances, the experience brought out the very best in our pupils. From speaking confidently on stage, to supporting one another behind the scenes, the children developed essential life skills such as public speaking, self-belief and collaboration.

The show featured enchanting musical numbers, imaginative choreography and expressive acting. Every pupil, whether playing an enchanted object, a villager, or a lead role, contributed to the magic. The result was a performance that not only entertained but inspired – a reflection of the joy and discipline found in the performing arts.

“Our talented young pupils told this timeless story with great charm and conviction, delighting audiences of all ages.” said Mrs Sherlock-Platt, music teacher and director. “We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their commitment and courage. They showed us what is possible when we step into the spotlight together. Bravo to all involved!”

The personal discoveries we help our students to make about themselves, their talents and capabilities, will shape and define the rest of their lives.
