After being one of the selected schools in the country, 41 girls, aged from 8 - 25 years, led by 1 boy, 'Josh Tye', aged 15 years, travelled from Maltby, Rotherham, where the school is based, to perform a combination of hard and soft shoe Irish dancing to 'Lord of the Dance', which was choreographed by the principal Gillian Banks, to an audience of 5000 people from around the country and for which they received a standing ovation from their supporters. “The students were really excited,” said Gillian “they had been rehearsing for weeks to perfect their routine”. They also had to learn two new routines with a professional choreographer on the day to perform with the rest of the company, adding up to nearly 1000 children on stage at one time. It was a fantastic experience for the students and a fantastic sight for all the supporters.

The show ‘Stars in the Round' was hosted by Bonnie Langford who recently took part in ITV's Dancing on Ice partnering the US figure skating champion Matt Evers and is currently rehearsing the role of Roxie Hart of the West End production of ‘Chigago'. The special guest appearing with Bonnie was George Maguire who played Billy Elliot in the West End Production.
