  • SIX!

    Published 28/11/24

    SIX is the story of Henry VIII's six wives; a story of reclamation of their own individual narratives - separate from those written, altered, and retold by men.

    The show content was learned in only a month and we were blown away by the students' determination, resilience, and teamwork.
    The SIX wives were outstanding!
    The whole cast were amazing, showing confidence and passion; it was hard to believe this was a school show!

    Once again, the students were a delight to work with and we are so very proud! WELL DONE ALL!

Trauma, abuse, neglect, separation, and bereavement have adverse effects, which means the child and adult's sense of safety and relationships need to be rebuilt in order for them to learn.

    The Attachment Research Community (ARC) supports schools and settings to develop best attachment and trauma-aware practice. ARC is a charitable organisation set up in 2017 with a mission to support all schools to be attachment and trauma aware.
