The children rehearse once a week in the school hall and work towards various concerts, workshops and performances.

Rob Fauvel, music and performing arts co-ordinator at the school in Windsor Drive, Rustington, said: “As a school, we are proud of each and every child that stood up and performed on that stage. Their hard work, commitment and enthusiasm for music and dance has made them a pleasure to work with and they put on a fantastic show.

“Their behaviour and manners towards those that have worked with them, in whatever capacity, has also been impeccable.”
