Both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students visited the Victoria Palace theatre to see the musical, Hamilton.
This was thoroughly entertaining as it hit the right notes for many of our musically talented students and others who appreciated the use of rap to tell the story. One of the students commented, “I loved how they used the music and lyrics to tell the stories. We should do our lessons like that. If there are more theatre trips like this then I definitely want to go.” They were also engaged by the dramatical twists in the story of how Alexander Hamilton became one of the Founding Fathers. They joined in the boos with the other school students present when Alexander cheated on his wife.
This trip was successful in educating the students through entertainment and being amongst students from many other schools.
