Recently, the talented team from Lichfield Garrick theatre transported our Year 8 pupils on an unforgettable journey through Michael Morpurgo’s captivating tale, “Farm Boy”

Our pupils were not only entertained but also enriched by the profound message woven into the narrative. “Farm Boy” beautifully illustrates the resilience and determination of a community rallying together, echoing timeless themes of perseverance and triumph over adversity.

Mrs D Maymand, Subject Lead for Performing Arts, said: “It’s so important for all pupils to experience the power of live theatre. Year 8 witnessed how two actors and one piece of set arriving in their hall, can transport 200 children to another time and place. Theatre is all about good storytelling and an actor’s talent colliding to create a truly magical experience for all. We are so thankful for the relationship we have with The Lichfield Garrick Theatre who provide so many enriching opportunities for our pupils at CTA”
