Burleigh triumph at Year 7 Inter-Form Drama Competition

This morning, on one of the hottest days of the year, Year 7 students filled the drama studio to watch teams from each form take part in the annual Drama Competition.

The teams were given the stimulus of a magic anchor being rescued from the clutches of evil by superheroes and heroines. Judges remarked on the particularly realistic stage fighting which was a feature of many of the entries and gave particular praise to Lincoln's eerie clock performance, Exeter's trio of superheroines and Essex's Russian cheese-eating dragon. Throughout, the judges said, there was a good use of pace, movement and characterisation.

Burleigh were finally announced as the overall winners and received the House Drama prize which will be awarded formally at Speech Day.

Many thanks to Miss Byrne, the judges, all the drama staff and, of course, our wonderful performers who helped to make the morning's competition such a success.
