REVOLUTION Performing Arts pupils enjoyed their first residential weekend at Legge House in Wroughton.

The 30 youngsters aged seven to 11 had fun singing, dancing, acting, taking part in physical theatre, arts and crafts, and other activities.

The performing arts group from RPA’s older section, Rapport, ran songwriting workshops and assisted with pastoral care.

Fiona Da Silva-Adams, founder of Revolution Performing Arts, said: “We make sure we have a high adult-to-child ratio of one adult per every five children.

“RPA is known for nurturing individuality and expression so young people really can be encouraged to be themselves.

“I love to lead the way with groundbreaking ideas and exciting opportunities for our young people and its gone down a storm.”
