It’s that time of year again when we showcase all the inspiring, beautiful work our Music, Art, Drama and DT Departments and their talented students have been working on all year.

The Summer Arts Festival takes place on July 5 with special performances and monolgues  from our  Drama  budding actors and the harmonious choir plus exhibitions from Art and Design Technology students.

A BBQ and refreshments on the Friary Lawn in the glorious sunshine is on the menu too.

Running from 4pm until 6.30pm, tickets are going fast and cost £5 for adults with free entry for Under 5s. Older children and students’ ticket are priced at £2. This ticket  will need to be shown at the BBQ.

The infamous Art auction will showcase some exquisite pieces with the chance to purchase and own a unique piece of artwork.

Proceeds from the event will go to ‘Creative Futures’ – a registered charity dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable children and young people through the arts.

Entrance on Thursday will be via the playground on St Antony’s Road. Cars will be allowed to park on this playground too as it’s permit holders only in virtually the whole of Newham now. So no excuse not to come and support this wonderful event!

The weather forecast looks good so what better way to spend a summer’s evening, with culture, music, art, beauty and nibbles and nosh….perfect!
