Students bring the magic of West End hit Frozen to Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe Academy students have been letting it all go by taking to the stage with their production of Frozen Jr.

Audiences were buzzing as the whole-school show, a collaboration between the music and drama departments, brought the magic of Arendelle along with Elsa, Anna and friends to life.

The performance at Ilfracombe Academy, part of the Athena Learning Trust, welcomed a full house of feeder school pupils, who were treated to a spectacular display of singing, dancing and festive cheer. 

Then families and friends were able to join in the magic on opening night and the following evening, singing along and sharing in the fun.

Steve Rogers, headteacher at The Ilfracombe Academy, said: “What a show! The students were amazing and it was wonderful to see them bringing so much energy and enthusiasm to the stage.

“Performances like this really show the value of the arts in helping our students grow and shine.”
