Grease is the word for Year 7

Grease whole cast 2022From the Pre-Prep right through to the Upper School at Feltonfleet, our pupils demonstrate an enthusiastic, ‘can do’ attitude, alongside a steely determination to enjoy their education. As they progress along their Feltonfleet journey, they grow in personal esteem as well as in learning, due in no small part to the camaraderie and benefits that come from being a valued member of their year group and the school as a whole. 

This attitude was summed up perfectly last week, as senior pupils in Year 7 performed brilliantly in the musical Grease.  The whole cast acted and sang with such gusto and commitment throughout the four performances. Grease needs no introduction: it is an iconic piece with larger-than-life characters so Year 7 had big shoes to fill.  What was so impressive about the production was the way in which every pupil on stage brought a huge smile and infectious energy to their role and, led so ably by Danny (Oscar S) and Sandy (Ella G), made their individual contribution to the show-stopping performances. Year 7 commanded the stage with confidence from the outset, guiding the plot through the energetic musical numbers to weave the story of a summer romance. The production was impressive in every respect; from the fabulous set (complete with life-size car!) and costumes which transported us back to 1950’s America, to the sing-along musical numbers and solos. The show was slick, upbeat, vocally excellent, and thoroughly enjoyable; a production that pupils, parents and staff will remember for a long while.

The Performing Arts are at the core of Feltonfleet life, and it was wonderful to see the Ashbee Theatre filled once again with the acting, singing, and dancing of our pupils and the whooping and clapping of family and friends.

This year, Mental Health Awareness Week shines a spotlight on the power and importance of community. Being part of a community can make life feel more meaningful and enjoyable, helping us feel happier and safer. At Feltonfleet, we’re using this week as an opportunity to pause and reflect with our pupils on the incredible community we share - one rooted in kindness, support, and meaningful connection. In the boarding house, on the sports fields, and around every corner of our school, there’s a spirit of togetherness and a listening ear when it’s needed most. It’s this sense of belonging that helps our pupils thrive - not just this week, but every day. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #FeltonfleetWellbeingAndCommunity #FeltonfleetWhereIndividualsReallyMatter #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #FeltonfleetWellbeingAndCommunity #FeltonfleetWhereIndividualsReallyMatter

Our prefects led an insightful assembly, sharing the significance of this historic day, and pupils added a splash of red, white, and blue to their uniforms to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom. A moment to reflect, remember, and commemorate. #VEDay80 #FeltonfleetRespect

Our middle school pupils had an unforgettable time on their ski trip to Austria over the Easter break. It was fantastic to watch their confidence grow on the slopes throughout the week. One of the highlights of the trip was the exciting sledging races down the mountain. The pupils displayed great spirit and camaraderie throughout the trip. ⛷ A huge thank you to @snowslippers_ for ensuring our trip was a success! #FeltonfleetYear5 #feltonfleetyear6 #FeltonfleetCrossCurricularLearning

Our Year 7 pupils delivered an incredible performance of Return to the Forbidden Planet this week. The crew of the Starship Albatross took us on a thrilling space adventure in this sci-fi production, inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest and infused with 1950s rock ‘n’ roll. Their talent and teamwork were truly outstanding. Well done, Year 7! #FeltonfleetYear7 #FeltonfleetPerformingArts
