Year 6 Leavers Show 2019

Year 6 performed their glorious final show to parents and pupils this week titled ‘It’s A Rap! This hysterical celebration of dance, drama and song was all wrapped up with an important message about achieving your ambitions through perseverance and choosing the right path! As year 6 head off to secondary school we hope they remember their years at Woodcroft with fondness. They have certainly left us with some great memories – not least this wonderful final leavers show! Thank you to all of the Y6 staff for supporting their achievements throughout the year.

The Performing Arts Club and Cheerleaders put on an electrifyin’ performance!

We were treated to a fantastic production of ‘Grease The Musical’ on Wednesday 10th July, staged by Miss Stubbings’ Performing Arts Club along with fantastic support from the  Cheerleaders. Pupils from Years 4 to 6 put on a flawless performance of acting, song and dance, with costumes and music that transported us back to 1950s America at Rydell High.  We saw talented and confident performances by everyone involved, and that included the technical support provided by a Y6 stage crew. Well done and thank you to everyone involved in this production – making it one of the highlights of Woodcroft’s Arts Week 2019!

Woodcroft Dance Team win the 2019 UDO National Dance Championships

They did it again! Woodcroft Dance Team are the official 2019 UK Primary Street Dance Champions! The UDO Dance Foundation, in partnership with Sport England and Youth Sport Trust, has delivered the The National Schools Dance Championships to schools across the UK since 2008. On Wednesday 26th June Woodcroft competed at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke against the top 5 schools from regional qualifiers in England, Wales and Scotland. 

It was an early start, 5.30am no less, but well worth it when we returned with the top prize! Thank you to our parent supporters who travelled with us on the day, and also the welcome party that formed for our return. The banners and ice creams really made us feel like returning champions! Not only should we congratulate all of the dancers – but also the dedicated staff team that give up so much of their time to enable our success to continue every year!
