Braver than you Believe

Next term’s timetable will be with you shortly, thank you for your patience while we have been sorting it out! It has been no mean feat.

? Announcement ?

The show this year will be dedicated in memory of Mrs Pat Prime who taught our dancers for many years and was much loved by all. 

?Pat loved Winnie the Pooh stories (based in our local Ashdown Forest), and for this reason, we are going with something a little different as a show name this year.
