A review of The King Edward VI School’s performance of ‘Annie’ 2022, by Mr P Cusworth
Little orphan Annie exploded onto the stage last night in a glorious riot of singing, dancing, music and joy which lit up the night sky to the moon and beyond. After a three year enforced absence musical theatre returned to King Edward’s with a stellar cast and the coolest hottest band this side of Pasadena driving this foot stomping, breathtaking spectacular.
Annie and the orphans opened the first half with “Maybe”, a touching, poignant ballad, leading into “Hard Knock”, with razor sharp choreography interrupted by deranged, dragon-hearted Miss Hannigan terrorising the orphans. From the heart melting chemistry between Annie and her stray dog Sandy in “Tomorrow” to the blind optimism of the Hoover-ites in “Hooverville” if ever we needed sheer escapism from a world teetering on the brink, it’s got to be now.
“Hot cocoa and ginger snaps waiting for you down by the recreation room” – who cares we don’t got no recreation room we can all dream Mr Warbucks is going to whisk us away and make everything alright. “NYC” featuring Warbucks himself along with Grace and Annie charmed and enchanted in an almost unbearably cute song and dance number. But in a stratospheric first half packed wall to wall with highlights it was Rooster, Lily and Miss Hannigan who stole the show with “Easy Street”. Precision timing oozing charisma and comic characterisation. “Next thing they’ll make a musical out of her” declares Miss Hannigan. Maybe they will Miss Hannigan but on tonight’s showing they’ll surely be making a musical about you!
Bert Healy continued the second half with the close harmonies of the Boylan sisters advertising “Oxydent toothpaste” in “You’re never fully dressed without a smile”, reprised by the orphans. For sheer glamour and sparkle and showbiz razzmatazz it doesn’t get any better than this. But something above all else was the sheer heart warming beauty of this story brought to life by this young, very talented and unbelievably hard working company. “Just thinking about tomorrow blows away the cobwebs and the sorrow”. As someone once said, “Tomorrow will be a good day”.
KEVI student Amy Stokoe has been racing in Spain over the weekend and has had some great results.
Only two British girls racing, others from Spain, France, Andorra, Belgium and Australia.
Super-G – 10th place
Giant Slalom – 15th place
Slalom – 8th place
The races on Friday and Saturday were World Cup Junior Races.
This was her first time racing Super-G as the Super-G races in February at the English Alpine Championships were cancelled.
Well done Amy, keep up the great work.
We are excited to announce that tickets will be on sale for our greatly anticipated 2022 Musical Annie. Students and staff have been working incredibly hard to prepare a stunning performance – tickets will be on sale from Monday 28 February available at Main Reception during break and lunchtimes. The performances will be held in Lower School Hall. Adults £10, 18 and under £7.
Following the government’s request last week that all students be tested on site before returning to school after the Christmas holidays, please see below arrangements for testing at our school. Testing will help reduce transmission after a period of social mixing over the school holidays.
All staff and students should test over the holidays in line with national guidance. This means that they should test if they will be in a high-risk situation that day, and before visiting people who are at higher risk of severe illness if they get COVID-19.
I am extremely proud of how our staff have worked together to maintain the highest quality provision for your child during this time.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support and wish you a very happy Christmas.
Christmas lunch is being served in school on 16th December. The menu is below.
Please see this letter which has been sent to all parents and carers today outlining details for the return to school in September 2021. This letter includes important details around Covid 19 measures, symptomatic testing, asymptomatic testing, curriculum and attendance.
As a result of the September testing requirements students return to school will be delayed by one day as follows:
- Friday 3 September and Monday 6 September – On site testing of all consenting students
- Tuesday 7 September – Staff Training Day
- Wednesday 8 September – Year 9 and 12 start school at 9.00am
- Thursday 9 September – Year 10, 11 and 13 return to school at 9.00am
The King Edward VI School students have once again achieved excellent results today.
Headteacher, Clare Savage commented:
“Congratulations to our Year 11 students, for their hard work over the last three years at King Edward’s and particularly for how well they have handled the many challenges they have faced over the last 18 months.
We know it has not been easy for them but they have done fantastically well to get through such a difficult period of uncertainty. As a school community we are proud of their efforts and achievements and look forward to welcoming the majority of our students back into our 6th Form (We still have space for September see our website for details). We wish all our students all the very best in their future endeavours and look forward to hearing of their future successes.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all staff and parents on behalf of all our students for all the support they have given them, particularly over the last few months.”
Adele Tansey, Year 11 Lead stated
I am very pleased to congratulate our Year 11 students on their excellent GCSE results. Our students have worked incredibly hard over the last two years and thoroughly deserve the results that they have been awarded, which are the conclusion to many 100’s of hours of face to face teaching, online learning and classroom assessment. I am particularly pleased that a significant number of our students have achieved top grades, notably Ruby Holton and Joe Lennox who both excelled and gained 9’s in all their subjects.
We look forward to seeing many of our students return to King Edward’s in September and to hearing how others have been successful in gaining places on various college courses and apprenticeships. I want them to know how proud we are of them and to wish them the very best for the next step in their educational journey.
