Standing ovation at the Christmas Panto

Over 70 students in years 7 to 13 have been rehearsing for the Christmas panto in after school enrichment since September. On Thursday 16th December over 250 guests enjoyed the production of Peter Pan!

A HUGE well done to the leading actors, who pulled off the comedic script wonderfully; Salma (9 Turing) as Peter Pan, Shabnam (9  Turing) as Wendy, Elena (9 Gauss) as Captain Hook, Freddie (8 Muller) as John Darling, Indigo (7 Knowles) as Michael Darling, Gabriel (10 Beckett) as Nanny McSmee, Ibukunoluwa (9 Reason) as Smee, Anastasisa (7 Taylor) as Tinker, Ysabella (7 Omari) as Bell, Ayla (8 Evaristo) as Mrs Darling, Saoirse (10 Beckett) as Tootles, Isabelle (9 Reason) as Nibs and Dominick (7 Knowles) as Slightly.

The show also included performances from KAA’s Brass Band, Choir, Intrepidus Dance Company and the KAA Band!

There were also cameos from staff members Mr Bernard, Mr Edwards, Ms Bullock, Mr Biggs, and Tilly the school dog as Nana!

The full cast were sensational from start to finish and received a standing ovation at their curtain call. For those that weren’t able to secure a ticket for the show, a full recording of the panto will be made available online after the Christmas break. Our thanks to director Ms Redford, and the performing arts department, for their hard work getting the students show-ready.
