What a fantastic week we shared at the All England Dance Finals in Eastbourne.
We are incredibly proud of every performer who represented Top Hat Theatre School.
Simply qualifying for these championships is an outstanding achievement, and our students performed with confidence, resilience and professionalism amongst the very best dancers in the country.
A huge congratulations to Louie and Willow, who both brought home Gold… a wonderful achievement and thoroughly deserved.
Whilst not everyone came away with a medal, every dancer should be proud of what they achieved. They represented Top Hat with dedication, determination and grace.
Beyond the competition, we made memories that will last a lifetime… from fun on the beach and in the sea to time spent together at the hotel and caravan park 😜
These moments, the friendships and the shared experiences are just as special as the results.
Well done, Team Top Hat… now… a very well over due rest and recuperate!
Have a wonderful summer and enjoy family time. # # #

Huge congratulations to all of our drama students who recently took their LAMDA exams! 🎭✨
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate a 100% Distinction pass rate… a fantastic achievement for every single student. 👏
To mark the occasion, we held a special Drama Presentation to celebrate our young actors and recognise their fantastic achievements. It was wonderful to celebrate everyone’s hard work and success together.
A very special mention goes to Josie, who achieved an outstanding 100/100 in her Grade 6 exam.
What an incredible result and a true testament to her talent, hard work and dedication.
Josie the actress! ⭐🎬

Quite simply... wonderful. ❤️
What a beautiful story, so brilliantly brought to life by our talented young actors.
We are incredibly proud of the challenge they embraced, telling the powerful story of the fight for women’s right to an education at Cambridge. It’s astonishing to think that women were only granted full membership of the University in 1948.
With such a demanding, dialogue-heavy script, every member of the cast rose to the occasion with confidence, commitment and maturity. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.
A truly fitting way to end another fantastic term and school year.
Bravo, everyone! 👏🎭
