Headteacher’s Headline
The Year 6 production ‘Shakespeare Rocks’ was amazing and we are so proud of all
the children for putting on such an incredible show with: acting; dancing; singing;
fantastic props; lighting and sound. All the children had an important part to play on
and off the stage. A huge ‘well done’ and ‘thank you’ to all the Year 6 staff for making
this possible, not forgetting our site staff who helped them stage the production.
The Year 5 children also performed for family and friends at their end of term guitar
concert, and Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed their workshop all about dragons at the
beginning of the week.
The end of term is rapidly approaching and we are saying some sad farewells to a
number of our staff. Mr Byrne-Smith is leaving us to become the deputy head teacher
in a London school, Miss Shepherd is moving away and taking up a promotion in a
new school, Mrs Stevens and Mrs Gough are also coming to the end of their time with
us and moving to pastures new. We wish them all the very best and hope they enjoy
their new roles.
As our Year 6 children leave us for their new schools we wish them all the best for the
future, we have been very proud to have you at The Bewbush Academy and know you
will make your new schools’ equally proud too. We wish all our families a happy
summer holiday and look forward to seeing those who are returning and joining the
school in September.

enjoyed dressing up as a Chinese dragon
and performing a dragon dance for their
teachers.

On Monday the 13th, pupils from Year 5
put on a guitar and singing concert for
their family and friends. The pupils sang
songs to support their topic on Ancient

about a thing’- by Bob Marley. The

everyone greatly enjoyed.

Shakespeare Rocked
On Tuesday the pupils from Year 6
treated us all to their production,
‘Shakespeare Rocks’ The show was a
funny adaptation of the life and works of
William Shakespeare.
The cast was filled with historical
characters, including Queen Elizabeth
the 1st and a variety of characters from
the bard’s plays. The children performed
with great enthusiasm and sang seven
superb songs, that were modern and full
of energy. We would like to thank the
pupils of Year 6 for all their hard work
putting on such an entertaining show;
and not forgetting the crew and
production staff who worked so hard out
of the limelight. I am confident they
have inspired future Year 6 pupils. Well
done!
