At Pirehill, the children are passionate about having as many opportunities as possible to experience and develop their performing arts skills. It is simply a joy to hear them singing and watch them performing on stage as a team. Each year children from our Reception Class up to our eldest children in Year 4 are involved in some form of production. We take it in turns to perform our Christmas Productions, our Harvest Festival Celebrations and our annual Easter Procession and Service in Church. The entire school has a wonderful creative ethos of inclusion and participation and we are proud to celebrate our enrichment opportunities alongside our academic attainment.
