“At The John Roan School we aim to develop character, compassion and service to the community, as well as providing a wide variety of enriching experiences for our students. The Librarians are a remarkable group of young people who genuinely enjoy doing something that benefits others. They have also learnt so much from the planning and organising of all the community events, and the Goldsmiths Community Engagement Awards developed their confidence and public speaking skills. I am extremely proud of them.”

A huge congratulations to everyone who was involved in the show, you should all be extremely proud of yourselves. An enormous thank you also goes to Ms Hibbert, Head of Drama, as without her dedication, none of this would have happened.
