Students experienced modern creativity at the Tate Modern, stepped behind the scenes with a backstage tour of Shakespeare’s Globe, and soaked up history at Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster.

From relaxing in Hyde Park to soaring above the skyline on the London Eye, and exploring the magic of Covent Garden — every moment was jammed packed with the best of what London has to offer!

Student Leadership Conference - “How The Expressive Arts Shape Strong Leaders”!

We were so thrilled to be asked to deliver leadership through art workshops at the Student Leadership Conference this January at the brilliant .

In our 90-minute sessions, students explored how the skills learnt in the expressive arts translate into good leadership qualities.

Then using our film CHOKED 2.0 as a stimulus they tested their leadership skills in a creative context—working together through movement, discussion, and devised choreography to explore the intersection of science and art and then delivering a concise and persuasive pitch to the rest of the group based on what they had created.

This experience encouraged the young leaders to think critically about how art can influence change, spark dialogue and deepen understanding of urgent environmental issues.

Our hope was that by collaborating creatively, students develop empathy, communication and the confidence to use their voices and artistry, to shape a more responsible and environmentally aware future.

Thank you so much to Andrew Chessell and Paula Tombs for having us on board and what an excellent programme you delivered.

Kicking off 2026 with a bang!

We worked with students across the school, from key stage 2 all the way through to key stage 5. Including intro to musical theatre classes, careers guidance sessions, working with the cast of Blood Brothers, design masterclasses with the set designers, dance masterclasses and singing masterclasses.

Finishing the week, we were thrilled to be asked to deliver workshops in leadership through art and storytelling with over 160 students at the student leadership conference.

By the end of the week the entire school was singing and dancing!!!!

HUGE thank you to Paula Tombs the Director of Expressive Arts and all of the team at we couldn’t have felt more welcome and supported.
