Cowes Students Shine in Matilda the Musical

Cowes Enterprise College recently debuted its first musical production with Matilda Jr. the Musical. Following months of dedication and hard work, Cowes Enterprise College students and staff delivered three outstanding performances, impressing audiences with their talent, skill, and set design.

The journey to staging Matilda the Musical involved extensive collaboration across various departments, from set design and costume creation to lighting and sound. Students immersed themselves in their roles, embodying characters and delivering performances that impressed audiences of all ages. The musical’s success was underscored by sold-out performances and enthusiastic feedback from attendees and not only celebrated the talents of Cowes Enterprise College’s students but also reinforced the academy’s commitment to providing enriching opportunities in the arts.

Principal, Rachel Kitley, said:

“At Cowes Enterprise College, we firmly believe in the transformative power of the arts. Our production of Matilda the Musical is a shining example of the creativity and dedication of our students and staff, who have brought this beloved story to life with remarkable talent and passion. This musical extravaganza not only demonstrates their exceptional abilities but also reflects our commitment to fostering a vibrant arts culture within our school community.”

Cowes Enterprise College extends its heartfelt gratitude to the local community for their enthusiastic support of the production of Matilda Jr. the Musical. The attendance and encouragement from community members played a pivotal role in making each performance a resounding success. The support underscores the value of arts education and inspires students to excel in their creative endeavours.

Cowes Enterprise College is already looking forward to its Christmas pantomime production of Hansel and Gretel in the autumn term and welcomes all to attend future events and productions.
