We're celebrating a major upgrade to its school hall this week, just in time for our end-of-year production. The school has invested over £5,000 in a brand-new lighting and speaker system, replacing the original setup that dates back to when the school was fairest built in the 1980s.

 “This has been a long-awaited improvement to our hall and it will make such a difference to the children’s performances and events." Headteacher Rebecca Blagburn said, "It’s important to us that pupils are given every opportunity to shine, and this new technology will ensure that their experiences are truly enhanced — whether they’re performing on stage or enjoying assemblies.”

The installation was carried out by Leicester Sounds & Lighting and includes state-of-the-art lighting and audio equipment to bring the school's performances and productions firmly into the 21st century.

The entire project has been fully funded by the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA), led by Chair Caroline McCartney, through its ongoing fundraising efforts.

“We’re incredibly fortunate to have such an active and committed PTA. Caroline and her team work tirelessly to raise money for projects just like this — and their efforts make a huge difference to the experience we can offer our pupils. We’re so grateful for everything they do.” Mrs Blagburn added.

Chair of the PTA, Caroline McCartney, commented, “We’re delighted to have been able to support the school with this project. It’s always rewarding to see the money we raise go directly towards enhancing the environment and experiences for the children. We can’t wait to see their performances under the new lights!”

The upgrade comes just ahead of our end-of-year production, which pupils and staff performed this week, to an amazing success. It was a memorable performance — and with the new equipment was given even more sparkle and sound!
