They should be incredibly proud of their efforts – as we all are of them.
“I would like to thank everyone who has played a part in making the End of Year Show a success, from our excellent teaching staff to all those behind the scenes. A special thanks goes to our esteemed panel of judges who had the difficult task of deciding this year’s winners.”
