When your year 12 students decide to make it their mission, to take what had become a dumping ground and transform it back into a prop cupboard. The girls did this in their own time and I am so very thankful to them. Thank you Klaudia, Tia and Nikki... you are stars !💫⭐️
Desk set up this morning to welcome my new trainee. I am looking forward to mentoring Lauren for the next 6 months. I love passing on knowledge and wisdom to future teachers🙌🏻👌🏻
I am so proud of these girls today, their first competition as a team and they went out and gave it their all. We now have a first place trophy, to put in the Drama studio 💁🏻♀️🎀

@MKTheatre
. Every single time I’ve seen this show I have been blown away by the sheer talent of the kids. To be able to sing, act, dance and play an instrument, live on stage is amazing !
WE ARE REGIONAL CHAMPIONS x3 !!!
Our senior level 2, junior 2 and senior 2 group stunts all took home first places. Our group stunts even managed to beat all star teams in large divisions. I couldn’t be prouder if I tried.

I’m so proud of these girls, they honestly shone on stage today taking home 2nd place. Only one point stood between first and second place, this shows the level of talent in the room. A massive well done

This afternoon saw 80 year 7 and 8’s sign up for this years school production. It’s safe to say we have extremely talented students
@KAKempston
. I’m looking forward to the rest of the auditions tomorrow ! 🎭
All I can say is wow, 130 sign ups for this years production, the most I’ve ever had. I’m blown away with the talent we have
@KAKempston
! I really don’t know how I’m going to cast the show this year 🙈
Highlights of today’s trip include a student saying ‘ Thank you for bringing us here miss, without you I never would’ve gotten to see it and it’s a dream come true’. Then a member of the public saying that our students are a credit to the school.

A girl at school recently moved form Italy and has joined cheerleading... Today my heart melted a when two students told me that they have been learning Italian at home so they can communicate with her and help her with cheer. The kids I teach amaze me daily😁🙌🏻
Fours years ago, when I started at
@KCABedford
, I decided to set up a cheerleading team. What started with 15 girls has grown in to two teams, two county championships wins and over 60 students a week. I’m so proud of my teams ⚡️👏🏻
It’s been another busy but extremely successful year
@KAKempston
. With highlight being, taking home 1st place at our cheerleading completion, our sell out production of HSM, with whole audition standing ovations every night and numerous trips to the theatre ! 🎭🙌🏼🏆
Words can not express how proud I am of this group of girls. Not only did they place 1st and took home gold but they also won the spirit award out of every team in the competition. All the hard work and commitment has been worth in in the end
@KCABedford
🎉😁🎀
It makes me so proud seeing cheerleading grow year in and out. What started as my year 9 enrichment activity is now a thriving part of our school community.
@KAKempston
I had a fantastic today lesson with 7CJO, starting our Harry Potter SOW. All students faced the sorting hat and were sorted into their houses. After, house Prefects were nominated by each team and then they explored the moment Harry, Ron and Hermione first meet. 🧙🏼♀️⚡️
@KCABedford
Today I said goodbye to two of my amazing 6th form students. I’ve taught both of them since day one of my teaching career. I’m so proud of you both and wish you all the best moving forward. Reach for the starts ✨⭐️
Tomorrow would have marked the start of ‘show week’. The students have worked so hard towards our production of HSM and I am gutted for them. I promise you the show will go on once we are back to normal and it’s going to be even bigger and better !

New trainers ready for the new school year ... as a drama teacher I love that my school let me wear the schools P.E kit as it makes practical demonstrations and even just sitting on the floor to help students, so much easier ! 👟👟
It’s safe to say I’m one emotional teacher after tonight’s opening night. This cast are one of kind and make me burst with pride. What a wonderful audience this evening, a whole room of standing ovations 🎤🏀🎭❤️
@KAKempston
I think sometimes we forget that adults also need praise and to be shown appreciation. I can honestly say I’ve never felt so appreciated or been praised much as I have since becoming a teacher. It makes the hard work worth it ! 🎭🙌🏻
My favourite part of the school year is show week. Seeing students shine on stage makes me burst with pride. I’m so grateful that I’m able to give my students these opportunities. Happy

I love doing whole class reading with my form group on a Friday Morning. Getting to hear them read and having the confidence to do so out loud is just amazing !

@KAKempston
Over 75 students have now auditioned for our Production of Matilda and that’s only years 7 and 8. We still have the rest of the school years to go on Thursday 😱👏🏻. This show is going to be amazing, I know it !!!

@KAKempston

So sad to think, that since I started teaching this time of year is normally full of school shows , cheerleading competitions and sports days. These are my favourite weeks of the school year, getting to see the students shine. I hope we can get back to extra curricular soon 🤞🏻
Today saw our final Thursday rehearsal of Legally Blonde Jr. I really can’t wait for everyone to witness the talent we have

NOTHING beats the feeling of waiting for a show to start. I can not wait for the day I can take a seat in front of a stage and feel the magic of the theatre again. I’m even more excited to plan my theatre trips for next year, I will be making up for lost time, that’s for sure! 🎭
We had such a great turnout to cheerleading tryouts today, I’m extremely proud. If you’re interested in joining one of our competitive teams, next week is your last chance to do so.

A great turn out to our 2024 Cast Reveal… I love seeing the students celebrating each other’s successes. If you couldn’t make today cast lists will be up tomorrow in the drama studio.

This right here is exactly why I trained to be a Drama teacher. At the start of the year Amy was shy and very quiet. I encouraged her to challenge herself and take drama for GCSE and then worked with her to develop her confidence. Two weeks ago she played a main part in Annie!
Today we got to be in the ‘ Room where it happened’ and what a fantastic show it was
@HamiltonWestEnd
! The students were outstanding and true representatives of the school.
@KAKempston

Another fantastic

Fantastic Rehearsals today for our production of Moana. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard them sing together and they blew me away when singing ‘How Far I’ll go’ for the first time. I am proud of you all ! 🎭
@KCABedford
So far today we have been on a Bus Tour around New York and we have walked down the Brooklyn Bridge. Just waiting now to go up the ‘Top of The Rocks’ !
