🎭 FUNDED MUSICAL THEATRE PLACES THIS SUMMER! 🎭

We are thrilled to be offering funded places for our upcoming summer theatre weeks at Stamford Welland Academy. We want to ensure that every child gets the chance to experience the magic of the stage, regardless of their financial circumstances.

To help as many families as possible, we have two pathways available:

🌟 1. HAF Voucher Funding (Free School Meals)
If your child receives benefits-related Free School Meals, you will automatically receive a HAF voucher code.

What to do: Scan the QR code on the flyer or click the link below to pre-register and secure your child's place immediately!

🌟 2. Non-HAF Hardship Funding (Supported by 'The Bread and Butter Thing')

We know that times are incredibly tough right now, and many families are facing severe financial hardship or strict budget constraints but don't qualify for Free School Meals.

Thanks to support from The Bread and Butter Thing, we have a very limited, dedicated fund to help bridge this gap and support children from households facing genuine financial struggle. We want to make sure this limited safety net goes to the families who need it most.

What to do: If your family is experiencing hardship and needs financial support to attend, please email [email protected] to request an application form.

⚠️ Please Note: These specific places are extremely limited and will be allocated on a strict first-come, first-served basis based on need.

Remember, we also offer paid places for those who do not qualify - pop to our website to book.

We can't wait to welcome your children for an amazing weeks of Trolls, Legally Blonde, and Annie Jr.! Let’s make this a summer to remember. ✨

MAGIC MAYHEM- May Half term ✨🔮💜

What a magical way to end our week! Today was about all things magic, imagination and mayhem….and wow what a BLAST we have had!🪄

We have genuinely not stopped all day and it’s been so fun!! It was like we stepped into a magical world! We created our very own magical potions🧪 We danced our hearts out to ‘Friend Like Me’ showing of our best genie moves! Then we sang ‘Let It Go’ and wow those voices were AMAZING❄️We even made our very own magic carpets and wands! Can you believe we even became Wizards 🧙ourselves by creating own very own secret spells and drawings!

All I can say is what a brilliant week it’s been…4 incredible days filled with singing, dancing, acting, crafts and so much more! Thank you so much to everyone who joined us and made it so special! We can’t wait to do it all again soon 🎭✨

Have a magical weekend everyone, Liv 💜

MAY HALF TERM PART 1 - Musical Mystery & Page to Stage ✨🩷

Oh my goodness! What a crazy 2 days we’ve had at Wildcats… I quite honestly think the last 2 days have been some of my favourite workshops EVER… 😱

Yesterday we had the best time putting our detective hats on and exploring all things ‘Murder, Musicals & Mystery’ 🕵️‍♀️
The main focus of the day was to create our very own show that included a ‘Murder Mystery’ inspired storyline (yes - there was a murder 👀) which also included a dance routine to ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ AND a detective movement sequence to the classic ‘Pink Panther’ theme tune (including props! 🎩) - all of which we incorporated into our super mysterious story! Not to mention our arts & crafts activity… secret coders that helped to solve the true mystery of the show! 👏

Today, we delved into the world of fairytales and understanding how classic story’s can be turned into Musicals & shows! Our arts & crafts today were inspired by the classic tale as old as time ‘Beauty and the Beast’ now also a super famous musical! 🌹💛 And of course, we did what we do best - we sung and danced to some hit tunes from the well loved musical ‘Wicked’ originally inspired from the fairytale of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ 💚👠

Honestly, we have not STOPPED! Thank you all for joining us, I hope you had as much fun as I did! I think these 2 themes were a hit and some to look out for in the future… 🙌

It’s been a pleasure, we look forward to seeing some more of you at our next 2 workshops! 😆🎭

Have a lovely evening everyone, Sofia xx
