Following the huge successes of Beauty and the Beast (2024) and Matilda (2025), directors Eilidh Smith and announced to pupils on Friday that the musical of the 2026/27 academic year will be Shrek - an adaptation of the Oscar-winning animated film and junior version of the Broadway musical.
“Shrek is our most ambitious musical yet. Over the years, the pupils have shown so much dedication and enthusiasm for each new musical, so we think they are more than ready for this production," says Eilidh & James.
"The songs are brilliant, and there are so many characters to allow our young people to shine. We chose this family-friendly production to ensure all performers have an opportunity to develop creative skills and feel proud of themselves."

S3 pupils across the Capital are currently sitting mock exams ahead of their Nat 5s next academic year. Our equivalent, Class 8, is a very different picture.
The three pillars of the curriculum this year are the Class 8 play, Independent Project and International Exchange with a sister Waldorf School in Germany or France, attending the Waldorf school there and living with a Coburg family.
Formerly known as the 'Class 8 Project', these large-scale pieces of work have a long history in the school tracing back three decades to 1996. It now forms the backbone to the first module of the Integrative Education (IE) Certificate, equivalent to three GCSEs.
The Independent Project can gain the pupil an IE Award. This can be built on in the Upper School by undertaking two more IE Modules: Creative Thinking Skills and Personal & Social Learning Skills.
