Polam Hall Students follow the Yellow Brick Road

Polam Hall School pupils are taking parents all the way to the Emerald City hoping to wow audiences with their end of year Wizard of Oz production.

In what is the 70th anniversary year for the popular tale, both Infant and Junior School pupils are taking part in the play portraying lovable characters such as Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Wizard of Oz.

The cast are gearing-up for two evening and one matinee performance this week with Year 6 pupils Jasmin Kareem, Ellie Dalby, Jessica Mitchell, Caitlin Godfrey and Harry Warren taking centre stage.

Angela Foster, Headmistress of Polam Hall Junior School, said: “Everyone has worked really hard to get the play to the standard it is today.

“From the costumes to the set design, pupils, staff and parents have all pulled together to ensure that it is a fantastic performance for audiences, in what is a special year for the Wizard of Oz.

“The school has had a great year so far academically and what better way to end it than with an exciting performance like this.”
