Arts Award: Explore is an accredited qualification open to a variety of

ages. Pupils create a scrap book based around experiences in the

arts– such as workshops, lessons, trips and performances. We

have just started a trial group this term but we will hopefully be

running it again in September for any pupil who would like to take

part. Below is an example of an Arts Award Activity.

Ilminster Warehouse Theatre

Thursday 17th March 2016

Pupils had the opportunity of performing at the wonderful Ilminster Warehouse Theatre on Thursday 17th

March . The pupils spent the day at the theatre to rehearse in the new space and stage crew had a chance to

practice with the equipment. The staff at the theatre were very helpful and supportive giving the pupils ample

time and experienced advice to experiment with the lights and sound. The acting on stage was to a very high

standard and all who were involved

should be immensely proud of themselves.

We all hope that the audience enjoyed the

performance and would like to thank the staff and

parents who supported the play . Thank you also

to the very generous companies around Ilminster

who donated raffle prizes allow-

ing us to raise money for the

Performing Arts

department and enabling us to

perform in such a wonderful

theatre.

“The

performance

was very good.

Me, my mum

and dad really

enjoyed it..”

Jayden Westcott

“The mask scene

looked very freaky and

I liked all the sound

effects”
