Testimonials and Kind Words
Happy Me Dance has been revolutionary for some of our children. Those children that sometimes find other aspects of school life challenging, have been able to flourish and beam confidence. The club has been incredibly popular in both boys and girls across all year groups. The parents have really enjoyed the termly performances. The performance at our Easter service, in front of hundreds of people, was a real highlight. We've got a buzz around the school about what the summer fete may bring! The club are currently working on a piece which will be performed at the Hawth in Crawley as a curtain raiser. These opportunities wouldn't have been available to the children without Happy Me Dance We pride ourselves on nurture underpinning academic success and it's lovely that Happy Me Dance have fit in so well to our ethos. I couldn't be more grateful.
