Performing Arts Festival

Congratulations to all our pupils who participated in our inaugural Performing Arts Festival on Thursday 16 June.

Both Ms Boylan and the adjudicator, Mrs Laura Stott, were extremely impressed and astounded with the wealth of musical talent at Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant and Pre-School, and how much at ease the pupils were during their performances. 

Mrs Stott commented that she was "blown away by the enthusiasm of the pupils, their professionalism, how supportive they were of each other and how intently they all listened to her feedback".
