Arts Award Expo 3 Showcase

Well done to all the Year 7 students for their hard work and impressive dedication on the recent Arts Award Expo 3 which took place on the 12 February in the heartspace.

Over thirty students exhibited their portfolios to families, friends and guests of school and there were drama and music performances from students across a range of years.

The feedback of parents and visitors was overwhelmingly positive and our students enjoyed being able to share their experiences about their creative work. Well done to everyone who was involved in the event and many thanks to the parents and families who came along to support our learners.

Oldham Coliseum ‘Gaming and Participatory Theatre’ Workshop

Many thanks to Oldham Coliseum who joined us this week for a special workshop based on gaming and participatory theatre for Year 8 students. The workshop featured a range of activities and the feedback from the session was highly positive.

The workshop is part of a sequence of sessions being run in conjunction between the school and the theatre this year. This offer is part of our current partnership status with the Oldham Coliseum Theatre. Well done to all the students involved in the session.

Arts and Mediterranean Night

This July sees us host our annual family activity night, following the successes of ‘Arts and Curry Night’, ‘Tex Mex Night’ and our ‘Arts and Caribbean Night’ comes this year’s ‘Arts and Mediterranean Night’.

The evening takes place on Wednesday the 6 July 2016 from 6pm until 8pm features themed entertainment, fun family activities and some great Greek, Spanish and Italian food (with vegetarian options). Tickets are priced at £6.00 per person (including food) and can be purchased in advance only from the CEPA Office or directly from school at breaktimes, lunchtimes or after school.
