Me and My Girl (22 images)
We had many months of fun creating this stunning production - in fact we laughed so much we wondered how we managed to create a production! Most of our cast learnt to tap dance for the show and all of them learnt how to play the spoons! The result was an excellent production telling the tale of the unapologetic Cockney Bill Snibson, his Cockney Girl, Sally Smith and their encounters with the elite Hareford Family. Thank you to all who helped us create the shows, what an amazing experience the cast all had and their families were quite rightly incredibly proud! All photo credits to Nick Spratling, with our thanks!

Trip to Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (4 images)
As part of the Year 12 course at St Gregory's Catholic College, we train students so that they are ready to audition for Drama School or Drama at University. A very important part of this is knowing where to study, so we take the students to visit Universities and Drama Schools so that they can see for themselves what student life would be like and what the course involves.

Some of our students were chosen to film a night shoot for the BBC series Bonekickers. They played Iceni children fleeing from a burning village.The filming took place in a forest near Dyrham Park, very late at night and in the pouring rain.
