Christmas off to a cracker!

Enthusiastic students delighted parents and guests at Cleethorpes Academy's Christmas Cracker.

The varied programme, including drama, dance and song, showcased the depth of talent at the school, said Principal Paul Thundercliffe.

“It was a fantastic way to bring a busy and successful term to a festive close,” he said.

“I'd like to thank all the students who took part and staff for their support and organisation.

“We had some lovely feedback from proud parents / carers who came to support their children.

“The evening was a huge success and an opportunity to showcase the wide-ranging enrichment activities we offer at the academy.”

The academy's choir and dancers opening the evening with ‘When Christmas comes to town”.

Individual performances came from Poppie Obrien, Isaac Lavric, Emily Findlay, Noah Bridgland, Isabele Clarke, and Mia and Isla Sadler.

There were duets, dancers and numbers from Year 10 and Year 11 Performing Arts' students.

Audience participation was required for ‘Twelve days of Christmas' while the evening was rounded off by the academy band's rendition of Last Christmas and Merry Christmas Everyone.

The show was also enjoyed by more than 400 primary school children, invited by the academy to separate performances.
