Crosfields School’s production of Les Misérables lit up the stage over three unforgettable, sold-out evenings, showcasing the extraordinary talent, dedication and teamwork of pupils across the school.
From powerful solo vocals to emotionally charged ensemble performances, the cast brought the iconic musical to life with confidence, maturity and passion. Supported by a committed backstage, technical and production team, the show was a true whole-school collaboration.
Mrs Caroline Townsend, Head, said: “Les Misérables was an outstanding example of what can be achieved when talent, dedication and teamwork come together. The standard of performance across the cast and crew was exceptional, and I was incredibly proud to see our pupils perform with such confidence and passion.
“Productions like this reflect the strength of our Performing Arts provision and the important role it plays in developing creativity, resilience and self-belief in our pupils.”
Pupils also spoke warmly about their experiences within the Performing Arts community at Crosfields:
