On Wednesday the 30th of April, Jeddah Prep and
Grammar celebrated the closing night of their produc-
tion of Blood Brothers. The production which ran for
three nights, under the direction of Catherine Kane and
Darryl Matthews, was the first school production to
take place since the start of the pandemic.

Pupils -from year 7 to 13 - in the cast gave up their
weekends to rehearse in the prep hall, while the crew
-pupils in sixth form- spent their weekends studying
how to work lights and sound. Because of all their hard
work, the pupils put on a wonderful show for the whole
school and parents, selling over 200 tickets across the
three nights.

Ms Cane and Mr Darryl could not have done this with-
out the support of the wider school community - par-
ents, staff and SLT. We would like to especially thank
the teachers who gave up their time to help backstage
and offered props for the production.

We would also like to pass on a huge congratulations to
the pupils who not only made us proud but made them-
selves and Jeddah Prep and Grammar proud. Their
talent and work ethic were the talk of the school!
