What a fantastic day for 4SIXTEEN Theatre Company Yesterday pupils, their families and the performing arts team had the privilege of attending the NODA East District Awards at Sharnbrook Mill Theatre! Congratulations to Ben for winning the award for Best lighting (Goldilocks and the Three Bears) Annabel and Lyra both received high commendations in the Outstanding Youth Performance category (Ghost and Oliver Jr.)! Phoebe was nominated alongside both youth and adult performers in the category for Best Musical Performance and was highly commended. It was a great day for staff achievements as well- Miss Sophie Kelk (4SIXTEEN Coordinator) and Mrs Samantha Smith (Music Teacher) were nominated for Best Costume and Makeup for Oliver Jr. and were highly commended. Mr Luke Skeel (Assistant Headteacher) received one of three very special recognition awards yesterday. He was recognised for his vision in creating and developing 4SIXTEEN Theatre Company at Castle Newnham School. Richard Fitt (NODA) commented how amazing it has been to see 4SIXTEEN grow from an acorn in the school hall to the triumph it is today, setting the standard for youth performance and encouraging, inspiring other youth groups. We couldn't agree more! Congratulations to all from 4SIXTEEN who were nominated, we are very proud of you all and we can't wait to see what you do next
