The Cedars School have enjoyed performing Macbeth as part of The Shakespeare Schools' Festival. The play was a great success for the pupils, all of whom have a statement of SEN. The project culminated in a performance and drama workshop at The People's Theatre alongside three other schools. As well as being featured in First News - the only national newspaper for children - the project resulted in two pupils being invited to audition for The National Youth Theatre. Congratulations to all at The Cedars on such a successful drama project!
