When stage meets the classroom

Our Year 11 students were treated to a special live performance of A Christmas Carol by the renowned Globe Players, bringing their GCSE literature text to life in an engaging and memorable way. The performance transformed what is often a classroom-based study into a dynamic and interactive revision experience, helping students to deepen their understanding of key themes, characters, and plot points just in time for their upcoming mock exams.

Head of English, Madam Broomes, praised the event, saying, “The wonderful performance provided an enjoyable way for the Year 11s to prepare for their mock exams. It reinforced their knowledge of the text while sparking discussion and enthusiasm for literature.” The event was not only educational but also inspired students to think critically about Dickens’ message and the historical context of the novel, all while enjoying the energy and creativity of live theatre.
