The 2025 School Shakespeare Carnival

Unleash Your Inner Bard: The 2025 School Shakespeare Carnival

This year, our school proudly presents the 2025 Shakespeare Carnival—a creative competition that invites students to reimagine the works of William Shakespeare through performance, music, film, and design. Whether drawn to acting, composing, or directing, the Carnival offers a platform to showcase student talents and bring Shakespeare’s timeless stories to life.

Participants had the opportunity to perform in categories such as duologues, group-devised scenes, physical theatre, and original compositions. The Carnival is more than a competition—it’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the enduring relevance of Shakespeare’s work. It’s an opportunity to gain confidence, develop critical thinking, and engage with literature in a dynamic and expressive way. This year the carnival was led by Ms Bamford who assembled a small but dynamic group of students who presented exceptional work last week.
