Congratulations to all our pupils that performed so brilliantly in our end of year presentation on Saturday. A massive thankyou to all out parent helpers, Team Gapa and our wonderful faculty. It was also really great to have Gielgudian James Furnell and West End legend John Partridge hand out prizes to this years medal winners.
What a treat for Gapa prefect Nellie to see Gielgudian Matt (Hill) Trevorrow performing in Disneys new musical Newsies last night. So lovely to see our former pupils working in the profession. Well done Matt!

Huge congratulations to Gielgudian Issy whose choreography group piece was selected by the School of Ballet Theatre to represent them at ‘Move It’ in London this weekend. Such a well deserved honour to see Issy’s choreographic skills on display that were first honed at our very own Gapa Creates competitions.
