PRIMARY schools from across Bradford gathered for a day of Roald Dahl inspired drama.

Tong Leadership Academy recently led the Matilda themed ‘Have a Go’ drama day through the Accelerate Primary Arts Partnership, together with Bradford-based The Cheer & Dance Company.

The day saw over 80 children from Bradford Academy and Carrwood Primary have a go at singing, dance and performance as they experienced a taste of musical theatre.

Rochelle Eager, Arts Co-ordinator at Tong Leadership Academy, said: “It gave the children a fun introduction to performing in a low pressure environment; it was wonderful to see them so engaged in the activities and with smiles on their faces!”

The day for primary school pupils is just one of the elements the school offers through the Accelerate Primary Arts Partnership.
