Show Time
The School puts on a summer show every other year, which is inclusive of everyone who attends classes at the school. Work is learnt during class time with extra rehearsals being held in the few weeks leading up to the show. I always have positive feedback from parents and performers and it is deemed a highly enjoyable experience for all. Each year we choose a different theme and the name of the show is chosen by the children by ways of a show name competition.

2011- Saturday Night at the Movies (Brixton School)
