The Regents Review Spring 2018

GENERAL NEWS

Enrichment Project

Students have been learning about staging and set design during Enrichment sessions. They have chosen a story and written an analytical essay detailing how they would stage the production – everything from set and props to lighting and special effects! The students have been challenged on the quality of their academic writing and have been looking at A-Level Drama and Theatre Studies criteria. The students have then written an extract of script to go with their production analysis! Maddie – an English Undergraduate student from Southampton University – visited once a week for five weeks to challenge the students on the quality of their script-writing. Calum Simpson (Year 8) has even built an amazing Lego model of his set design for his vision of Matilda featuring a tiny chokey!

Yomi Rapper As an end of year treat, on Thursday 14th December, Year 11s were treated to a

performance of several tracks by rapper, Yomi. He also had a strong story to tell our students about his tough upbringing in care homes, his time in gangs and prison, and how he found his path out of this destructive lifestyle. One of the Year 10 students said, “He helped with inspiring us to guide ourselves through life in a positive way. The music was also great and it was a really good atmosphere”
