Success For Crackley Hall At Nuneaton’s Festival Of Arts

11 pupils travelled to the Abbey Theatre in Nuneaton on Wednesday 1 May to compete in the Speech and Drama classes of the festival. They faced tough competition from local drama schools and performing arts specialist, Pattison College.

Crackley Hall’s Choral Speaking Club competed in the Junior Schools' competition. They were awarded an 'Honours' for their exemplary work with The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf and The Day I Put My Finger Up my Nose. They did so well that they just missed out on top spot by one point.

Pupils’ individual performances were excellent too, with the children coming away with three trophies for first place, congratulations to, J3, Sloane, J6, Ted, and, J3, Darcey, three for second place, after a super effort from, J4, Edward, J5, Felix and, J6, Sukhmani, and two for third place, well done to, J6, Molly and, J6, Alexa.

Drama teacher, Nicki Wildey, was delighted, commenting, “We are so proud of the children’s commitment to Performance Poetry. They gained invaluable experience of speaking on stage in a competitive environment and came away with a great sense of achievement and pride. They have made us, their parents and the whole school very proud.”

Well done Crackley, you've smashed it yet again!
