Some of our pupils are members of CFYT
Mrs Vlahodimou (Headteacher) and Mr Bentley-Angell (Head of Performing Arts & CFYT Alumni) were thrilled to see our talented pupils (past and present) on stage, above the stage and behind the scenes in 'A Boy Called Christmas.'
T
his was part of a Gala Celebration to commemorate 40 Years of Chichester Festival Youth Theatre, led by Dale Rooks MBE (Director), Kathy Bourne (President of UK Theatre), Justin Audibert (CFT Director) and Jess Brown-Fuller (MP for Chichester).
CFT seats 1300, and the show runs from December 15th until 31st at the world-renowned theatre. These were fantastic opportunities strongly encouraged by Slindon College, and we were bawled over by the talent!
