House performances impress VIP guests Rosemarie Ford and Robert Lindsay

House performances impress VIP guests Rosemarie Ford and Robert Lindsay

The whole of Berkhamsted Boys and Girls performed at Centenary Theatre for a much anticipated house competition.

Pupils from Year 7 to 11 took to the stage in the House Performing Arts competition (Girls) and House Drama (Boys).

Performances took place in front of adjudicators Rosemarie Ford and Robert Lindsay. Our VIP guests analysed the quality of choreography, script writing, singing, movement and the pupils’ ability to make an impact on the audience.

Victory for Tilman and Stephenson

Stephenson, in their first appearance at House Performing Arts, were the girls overall winners.

Tilman won the overall trophy for boys. Their performance included a George Orwell inspired ensemble with excellent original script writing.

Tilman worked well together as they took their inspiration from George Orwell’s 1984. #teamBerko pic.twitter.com/eE8iSmT1Ko
