West Hatch High School students staged two 'Love Lounge' performances featuring music, dance, drama, and poetry.

The shows involved students from Year 7 to Year 13 with numerous students also supporting the production through their involvement as part of the 'tech team'.

Headteacher Daniel Leonard said: "We had another fabulous two evenings of music and dance. There is so much talent in our school that we had to run two separate shows for different performers.

"It was a pleasure to see how far our older students have come and also to see the next talented bunch coming through from Year 7 and beyond.

"Thank you to those Year 11 students for whom this was their final performance and well done to everyone for all their hard work. It really did pay off."

Marcella Lord, head of music, said: "I love that we had to put on two shows due to the amount of students that wanted to perform.

"Today I've been asked by several students who came to watch the show about the auditions for my next show.

"Proud is an understatement."
