Moreton Hall up for private school awards
Moreton Hall has been named as a finalist in the 2020 Independent School of the Year awards in two categories.
The school near Oswestry has been nominated in both the Performing Arts and Careers Guidance Categories.
Launched in 2018, the Independent Schools of the Year awards highlight the excellence of the student experience in independent schools.
Kate Howells, head of drama at Moreton Hall, said: “This really is a testament to the continuing hard work and passion that is so evident from within the arts department at Moreton. So many skilful and talented people work collaboratively to produce outstanding events and opportunities for not only Moreton pupils, but to the wider community. I am super proud of everyone and this couldn't have come at a better time.”
During lockdown workshops have been taken by leading West End professionals via Zoom for students at Moreton Hall, which has a £1.45 million community theatre that hosts arts, music and drama for people from the surrounding areas.
Principal George Budd added: “To be a finalist in not one, but two categories underlines the breadth of educational excellence at Moreton Hall. We are very proud of all the staff and pupils whose hard work contributed to this success.”
The winners of each category will be announced during the Independent Schools of the Year virtual event to be held on October 8.
