DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY
DANCE Dance continued to thrive, with pupils from Years 9 to 13 working towards ballet, modern and tap grades. The annual Dance Showcase featured iconic numbers from Cabaret and Sweet Charity , and a workshop with Daniel Hay-Gordon , co-director of the renowned LGBTQ+ dance company Thick & Tight , brought professional insight to the studio. Year 10 dancers performed in a short production devised by Motionhouse Dance Company following a three- day Coastal Schools Partnership residency, while Year 11–13 pupils took part in a street and hip-hop fusion workshop. Year 12 dancers supported younger pupils in choreography and technique, contributing to their Gold Arts Awards and EPQs.
Pupils undertook ambitious projects throughout the year. Scholars Dan Clark and Julian Hannay completed advanced projects - a prototype folding table and a garden bench, respectively
- with Dan’s work supported by the Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers . Izzy
Fogg , Darcey Lewis and Briony Rollinshaw progressed to the next stage of the national Samsung ‘Design for Tomorrow’ competition, attending a seminar and workshop in London.
