On Thursday 2nd March, 43 pupils and 12 adults from The Valley took a trip into London’s West End to watch School of Rock at the New London Theatre.

This was a research trip for our upcoming production on 30th and 31st March.  We were very excited to see the show live on stage and were wowed by the young actors playing their instruments.

Our behaviour, as always, was a credit to the school and we all behaved impeccably, both on the journey and whilst in the theatre.

We are even more excited for our production now and cannot wait to wow you all with what we can do!  Tickets will be on sale next week and the performances are at 7pm on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st March.

Here’s what we thought of the show:
