News Stories

Ryan joined us in the summer term of 2024 and integrated incredibly well into the group, taking part in a show at Greenwich Park for their Summer festival. This autumn term Ryan returned to SYT and continued to contribute his imagination and creativity towards their end-of-term adaptation of ‘Dark Christmas’ by Jeannette Winterson. He also received the Jack Petchey Award for his contribution to the group.

Lewis joined SYT this autumn term and has blended into the group beautifully. He has contributed his theatrical talent to the group’s end-of-term sharing and performed in front of a number of parents who attended.  We’ve seen his personality unfold and seen him socialise well with his group mates. 

Mea joined SYT, coming from our WMYH group, and we’ve seen her socialise well and take on theatrical challenges with excitement. She was given the role of Mrs Wormwood in the group’s adaptation of ‘Dark Christmas’ by Jeannette Winterson and did so well in fulfilling that role, welcoming parents into the space to experience their work.
