Pupils at St Edward's Primary in Sheerness attended a regional dance competition 'The Great Big Dance Off' at Chatham Central Theatre on Tuesday 5th March, and we are incredibly proud to announce that they won the event! 

This was the second year that St Edward’s attended the event, having performed with a team of 30 students last year. The dance team ‘Inspirational mix-ups' was supported by an ex-pupil, who helped choreograph and develop the dance skills of all 12 children across six weeks. Mrs King and Mrs Heath were also on hand to support after-school practice sessions.

The team had an amazing afternoon at the venue and it was wonderful to, once again, see the talent of other schools around the county. The behaviour and respect demonstrated was impeccable and the support given towards each other, and other teams, was commendable. Families from the school community supported the event, travelling to the venue and cheering the team on. 

The ‘Inspirational mix-ups' won the event with an incredible 271 marks out of a possible 300. The next part of this adventure will now see the team perform at the national competition in Oxford on 19th June 2024. 

Well done to all involved!
