The Little Mermaid junior. A wonderful, uplifting evening, filled with fun! Thank you to the cast, crew&staff who ensured the audience had such an enjoyable evening. The show, created in just 10 days, was a fitting send off for our 6th Form leavers. We wish them all the best. ‍♀️ https://t.co/yhP92s2jem
