17th December
Santa's Little Helpers, Award Ceremony & Christmas Disco
We have decided to remove all students under 5 from our annual Theatre show in July and instead, offer these students their own showcase in December. This will be called Santa's little helpers and they will showcase their work at this event rather than in July. It has come to light in recent years that they are not yet ready at this age to be in the theatre and we have made this decision for health and safety and also for the wellbeing of the students.
We have also added an award ceremony to our itinerary this year. As our school grows and we gain more students, it makes sense to hold this as a separate event. All awards, examination certificates and competition trophies will be presented at this event each year. We will also follow this with a Christmas Disco for the children. All parents are welcome to stay and have tea and coffee in the lounge while the children dance their hearts away.

Aylesham Carnival
Aylesham Carnival is an annual procession through the village, where students will dance & walk along with the parade. It is a energetic, fun filled day that students can be involved in. We also encourage parents to join in the fun and walk with us!
Kindly be aware that participating in an event, exam, musical, or production requires a certain degree of dedication and commitment. Additional rehearsals, often extending to weekends, are part of the process. While we strive to provide ample notice for planning, we anticipate reciprocal respect for the commitment we extend to you. Absences are deemed inconvenient and disrespectful not only to the educators, directors, and choreographers but to the entire cast. We acknowledge that unforeseen circumstances, such as illness, may arise, and in such cases, we encourage students to make efforts to catch up at their own pace using our online rehearsal dropbox.
