Our incredible Year 10-13 students brought the house down in December with a truly unforgettable production of Hairspray 🌟🎭👏
From the high energy opening night on Tuesday 9th December to the emotional finale on Friday 12th December, a cast of 50 dedicated performers lit up the stage and wowed packed audiences all week long!
Hairspray may be a feel good musical, but it also carries powerful messages around race and gender, with our cast striking the perfect balance between humour, heart, and meaningful storytelling.
Despite working with a tiny budget, the production values were outstanding. Sound, lighting, set and costume design all shone, with moments like The Big Doll House showcasing just how brilliantly every element came together 🙌
Once again, a Rawlins production has highlighted the power of teamwork, creativity and individual talent. We couldn’t be prouder of this diverse and inspiring group of young people!
Huge congratulations to everyone involved and a special shout out goes to our Year 13 performers taking part in their final Rawlins show before heading off to new adventures next year 🎉

🔔 Term ends on Friday 19th December at 12:20pm with students returning on Tuesday 6th January 2026 (Week A)
Back in February half term, our Year 11 student Oliver headed to Tenerife for an intensive training camp🏊♂️
From March to May (the national qualifying window), he travelled the length and breadth of England, chasing those all-important personal bests. His determination paid off: Oliver smashed his PBs and earned his place in the National competitions!🙌
He has come a long way in just a couple of years:
• 2022-2023 swim season Oliver kept qualifying for races but then kept getting knocked out as others were quicker than him.
• 2023-2024 swim season saw him qualify for English Nationals in the 1500m and 800m Freestyle competitions.
• Last season (2024-2025) Oliver had qualified for 5 races:
🇬🇧 2 BRITISH races (called Aquatics GB Next Generation Championships) - 1500m Free and 800m Free!
🏴 3 ENGLISH races - 400m Free, 200m Free and 400m IM!
While most were enjoying summer after Year 10, Oliver was in the pool at 5–7am, four times a week, and back again for two-hour evening sessions, five times a week. Fast forward to December: after an up-and-down start to the season, Oliver had one shot to qualify for the Swim England Winter Nationals...and he nailed it! 💪🔥
On Friday 12th December, he took on the 1500m Freestyle at Ponds Forge, Sheffield. Watch this space for an update! 🌊🏊♂️
