Sudden Impulse Theatre Company is returning to Princethorpe College this weekend for two outdoor performances of William Shakespeare's play, The Comedy of Errors.

Believed to be one of Shakespeare's earlier written plays; The Comedy of Errors is a true farce ahead of its time. The story involves two sets of twins, separated at birth, being thrown together in a tale of mistaken identity.

The performances are open to the public and will take place on the Sixth Form Lawn as follows:

Friday 8 June - 6.30pm to 10.00pm

Saturday 9 June - 3.30pm to 7.00pm

A wonderful opportunity to bring a picnic, settle down in your camping chair and enjoy some perfect summer entertainment.

Tickets are available from www.suddenimpulse.co.uk priced at £12 adults or £10 for concessions or on the door! 

Thursday 14 June 2018 - 7.00pm

Class VI warmly welcome you to their performance of The Demon Headmaster on Thursday 14 June 2018.

Dinah Glass moves in with the Hunter family and starts at same school as her foster brothers Lloyd and Harvey. It is not easy, as they seem to really dislike her, and school is really strange. Pupils suddenly talk like robots and do weird things, even Dinah finds herself acting oddly and she finds herself saying things like, "I think the Headmaster is a marvellous man and this is the best school I've ever been to". She is sure the Headmaster has some kind of power over them, and is determined to find out more. But the Demon Headmaster is equally determined to stop her. With the help of her new friends in ‘SPLAT’, can she successfully stop the Headmaster's plot to hypnotise the country through the Barry and Larry television show?

We look forward to seeing you.  Refreshments will be served from 6.30pm.

Saturday 29 September 2018

This year the Crescent School celebrates 70 years since it was formally founded back in 1948. 70th anniversary celebrations are planned for the Michaelmas Term when the school will also officially mark 30 years at its current site. On Saturday 29 September the school will open its doors and welcome pupils past and present back into school to celebrate its double anniversary. It will be a fantastic opportunity for people to come and see their old school and to catch up with old friends. There will be tours, displays, activities, the school choir will sing, the Bilton Silver Band will play and there will be refreshments available.

Do put the date in your diary and do encourage any Old Crescentians you know to get back in touch with the school and to come and join in the celebrations.

The school has created a Facebook Group the Old Crescentians which can be found here: www.facebook.com/groups/oldcrescentians to help connect past pupils. If there are any past pupils who do not have Facebook, they can email pastpupils@crescentschool.co.uk or contact the main office on 01788 521595.

It has been a wonderful 70 years for the Crescent School.
