ECP Festival of the Arts 2018

Last week, our Years 1 and 2 students held a highly creative Festival of the Arts. Over two days, they attended workshops in ceramics, recycled fashion, interior design, drama improvisation, commedia dell’arte, drumming and singing. The sessions were run by ECP teachers and outside experts. The culmination of all their hard work was a special Gala Performance on Friday afternoon when they presented to other students, staff and parents what they had learnt in the workshops. The whole Festival culminated in a fantastic fashion show! Many thanks to everyone who took part for their inspiring performances and a big thank you, too, should go to the audience for creating such a great atmosphere!

Dr Brown, Headmaster, said: “It was a lovely event and so great to have Years 1 & 2 centre stage, working together. We now have another successful event in the ECP calendar to look forward to each year!”

ECP Cultural Olympiad

Once again, there was an extraordinary range of talents on display at the Cultural Olympiad. A showcase of music, dance, drama and ‘freestyle’ expression, we yet again were treated to a feast of artistic expression. Each House performed something musical, dramatic and a dance, as well as presenting a video and being given liberty in the “Freestyle’ section. This year the standards were higher than ever, and the job of the independent judges cannot have been easy. In the end, and with close-run competition across all categories, Ignis ran out winners once again.
