In this dark, thrilling tale of vengeance set in 19th-century London, the story follows Sweeney Todd, a barber unjustly exiled, who returns to seek revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life. Through the fortunate partnership with Mrs. Lovett, the owner of a failing pie shop, Todd’s murderous spree leads to a macabre success when human flesh becomes the secret ingredient in her pies. This Tony Award-winning musical by Stephen Sondheim combines chilling music, gripping drama, and dark humor, which has captivated audiences worldwide with its intense themes and unforgettable performances. A True Musical Masterpiece!
In this production, one of the lead characters, Mrs Lovett will be played by our very own Director of Music, Miss Werry!
The email regarding the Sweeney Todd trip will be sent out shortly. Please let me know if your parents/carers haven’t received it.
Sign up and pay by the 14th September.

Would you like to be a Music Leader in 2025-2026?
Would you like to be a Music Leader next year? Music Leaders need to be totally committed to supporting the department and spreading the music love. Your jobs will involve helping recruit year 7s to our clubs, helping at school events (e.g. open days), assisting with music trips, helping to keep the music resources tidy and so on.
If you would like to be considered for the role of a Music Leader you will need to complete this quick form. To be eligible, you will need to be a member of at least two music clubs. We are looking for people who are committed and tuned in. By that, we mean people who come to rehearsals really regularly, check the blog, answer their emails and generally know what’s going on. All year groups welcome.
Existing Music Leaders will need to complete the form too.
Deadline for submission is 5pm on Monday 8th September.
** MEETING CANCELLED** All current music leaders – please see me in my room at the start of lunch on Wednesday 10th September for 5 mins to discuss something I need you to do. Thank you.
Congratulations to our GCSE and A Level classes for your music/music tech exam results.
