Suffolk’s School visit

Suffolks5 080313

This week Bishop Stopford’s School welcomed 100 year one and two pupils from Suffolks primary school, to watch our fantastic Year 11 dance group. They performed the dance that was highly praised at the Enfield Dance Festival in February. The primary school children were really excited to watch the performance and they asked our students lots of probing questions about dancing. It was a wonderful morning enjoyed by all.

We raised in excess of £3,000 for this year’s Children in Need Appeal by running a non-stop Bounceathon. We had a great time and it was really satisfying to have raised so much, alhtough it was good to get some sleep over the weekend! We were even on the BBC’s live show at 7:45pm on Saturday night.
