West Side story

News - 13th Mar 2026

A company of well over 100 students combined to create a truly memorable week of performances.
West Side Story is yet another example of staff, students, parents and carers working in partnership together. Every single student whether on stage, in the orchestra, tech and backstage crew or choreographer collaborated for what was amemorable performance of the famous show.

West Side Story School Edition is a powerful and emotional musical that reimagines Romeo and Juliet in 1950s New York. It explores themes of love, prejudice, and conflict through music, dance, and drama. 

The story follows Tony and Maria, who fall in love despite belonging to rival gangs—the Jets and the Sharks. Their relationship develops, secretly at first but then threatened by violence and hatred between the groups.
