Key Stage 2 'Cinderella' Pantomime (December 2025) 

Our Key Stage 2 children worked incredibly hard with their pantomime performance of Cinderella, performing to an audience of parents, friends and local community.. Well done to Cinders, our extremely funny Ugly Sisters, Buttons, Fairy Godmother, Prince, Dandini and our scene narrators for all their efforts. Every member of our cast contributed to making the performances successful and had everyone smiling, laughing and joining in, in true pantomime style - "Oh yes they did!".  Thank you to our audiences for joining in the fun and encouraging everyone with their singing and acting. A truly wonderful performance Team Bradley.
