On Friday, Year 11 had their Prom. Fancy cars including Bentleys, Hummers, Limousines and even a helicopter pulled up in front of Vale Royal Abbey. And the glamour didn’t stop there. Out stepped beautiful young people – boys looking dapper in suits and ties and girls shining and shimmering in beautiful outfits.
It was nice to see them have fun together and let their hair down as their exams are coming to an end.
Thank you to Mrs Azakli for all the hard work she has put in to organising this glamorous event.

A reminder to students that aerosols are not allowed in school; they are a banned item and will be confiscated. This is to ensure that everyone is safe and no adverse reactions occur.
Should students wish to bring deodorant into school, then roll-on deodorant acceptable.
Once again the students of St Nicholas’s Music Department were invited to perform at the Cheshire Show. The students were absolutely brilliant and were praised for their talent and behavior. A huge well done to all our performers. Orchestra, Choir, Woodwind Ensemble, String Ensemble and the cast of Bugsy, 60 students in total, represented the school with a variety of pieces and songs and a fantastic day was had by all!
It was a pleasure to take them.

The Drama department organised a fabulous theatre trip for 163 Year 8 students, including myself, to the Liverpool Empire Theatre to watch ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’
The show was one of the best theatre shows I have currently seen and put a smile on my face throughout the whole thing. The students did not understand why but the staff were very excited to see Jason Donovan in this show and he played the role of the Pharaoh perfectly.
I enjoyed the actors and singers and how they put the show together. Everyone had performed their lines perfectly and the songs had so much enthusiasm put into them. The background, set, lighting and even the band were incredible and everyone should really be proud of what they did.
The set of the show as well as the choreography of the dancers is also something to be well-respected. Everything had so much passion and effort put into it and there were so many tiny details to notice during the show. The costumes were amazingly put together and were so vibrant and realistic to the time period that it was set.
The dreamcoat that Joseph was wearing throughout the show though was without a doubt the best thing about the whole show. It absolutely fits the name of “dreamcoat” because it is so vibrant and colourful that it is all you could ever dream of. As with the other costumes, Joseph’s dreamcoat was made to look a lot more modern and appealing to all audiences and the costume designers did a fantastic job making it. I wish they made it for sale as I really wish I had one.
We were all sat quite far back in the theatre and whilst we could see everything, the sound at times was muffled. But this did not stop everybody from having a great time and some even stood up and danced to the Joseph Mega Mix in the finale. Next time we are wondering if we could have the more expensive seats at the front if possible?
Overall, I would say that this show was definitely to my liking, and I would love to see it again. I would rate the experience as a whole a 4 out of 5 stars.
Thank you to Mrs Milborne for organising such a great trip.
