Year 10 students from Westminster Academy in north London visited the school this morning. They had a tour of the school followed by workshops in dance, theatre and music. Westminster is a business and enterprise specialist school but they have a thriving performing arts department as well. Their performing arts teachers lead by Lucy Sands hoped that a day at the BRIT school would give their students added confidence in working with students their own age in their own specialist area. So our year 10 students worked side by side with their year 10 students in the workshops. "Our students really enjoyed themselves especially participating in the subject lessons" said Lucy. "Many students commented on how nervous they were about participating in the classes and thought they would not be able to cope with the work, but taking part in the lessons made them realize they could cope really well. Thank you to all the teachers and students who lead the classes they made our students feel really welcome. The trip has had a very positive effect on their confidence". . Before they went home our year 10 Musical Theatre students gave them a short performance of some of their numbers from "Hair" which they had performed as a whole show as part of their BTEC last term.
