Humour on the high seas: Christmas Pirate Panto!

What better way to kick off the start of the Christmas holidays than by putting on a good old-fashioned British panto.

The whole College got to enjoy the outrageously funny annual Christmas pantomime today, performed by our Senior Leadership Team and Heads of House.

This year's performance was an original Pirate-themed pantomime set off the coast of Crookhorn Island, where a competition was set between the four Pirate Houses by the Admiral of the Fleet. Featuring plenty of humour on the high seas, the performance perfectly blended classic pantomime and pop culture with a few Crookhorn related gags, references and dance-offs thrown into the mix.

The main hall was filled with laughter and cheers throughout the four performances today. Thank you to all the staff involved, including the Creative Arts department for the production, including everyone behind the stage helping out.

A brilliant way to finish the autumn term.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
