Matthew Lewis, who recently gained a place at the East 15 Drama School in London has sent this card to all his teachers and fellow students, so I have put it here for all those people to read. It was very touching Matthew - thank you.

Received as part of an e mail from Mrs Manvell some words of praise for the community feeling amongst the students. I am most definitely proud Mrs Manvell 

Just wanted to say, what a lovely bunch of girls they are at Stagecoach. On Sunday, they were all really supportive and loving and caring with each other over the Lamda Exams, its so sweet to see. They all hugged and genuinely seemed to care for each other, they are always a pleasure to see ( I know I can only speak for Ellie’s group most of the time, but even at events like Billy/Joseph/Liverpool they all seem to be the same), you should be very proud.

thanks,

Julie Manvell

Received today from the organisers of the Vibe Awards for children in Darlington.

Hello Trudy,
 
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you, the other teachers and young people for performing again at the Vibes again.
 
They were all amazing as usual and feedback has been fantastic!!

There were two awards nights last week and our All Boy Dance Class and Dance STARE performed at the Tuesday awards night. The Boys danced to “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen and were complimented enthusiastically by the editor of the Northern Echo when I met him on the stairs at the interval. 

STARE performed to “Bridging the Gap”, as the night`s finale and the dance ended with a spectacular `explosion` of dancers. Hayley Moohan said that she had visited Hurworth School the night after and the Hurworth teachers who had been at the Vibes were full of praise for our groups - saying that they get better every year. Here is an article about the awards from the Northern Echo. The Boys group is pictured taking a bow.
