The Factory Children

On their penultimate day at St Marys, the Year 6 pupils put on a wonderful performance of The Factory Children. It was an opportunity to demonstrate many of the performing arts skills they have developed over their time at St Mary's School. An energetic dance routine, clear speaking, accomplished acting and beautiful singing were all evident as the children told the story of the class divide during the industrial revolution.
