Cast of 80 children take to the stage.
A whole school performance of Charles Dickens' classic story was well received by an audience made up of family and friends at Weymouth Baptist Church.
Scrooge ( Henry Eakins) had a mammouth task in learning a huge script but managed to pull off the performance of his life.
Using a script adapted by John Mortimer for the RSC the children were stretched to their very limits as they grappled with the complexities of the literature and a sense of empathy with the historical setting.
Liam Jiggins( Headmaster, Mr Fezziwig and Spirit of Christmas to Come) revealed an otherwise hidden talent as a gifted and talented actor. Alexander Schooling gave a dazzling performance as the child Scrooge.
Belle ( Georgia Sykes) was most convincing as she told the young Scrooge ( Kyle Reynolds) that their relationship was over.
Sopie Luque( Street Girl) skipped and darted through the streets as though she had spent her whole life living on the streets.
If you have any photos of this performance could you please e-mail them to the Headmaster so that we can put them on this website.
The Cratchit's prepare the table for the Christmas Lunch.
