On 14th and 15th July 2026, our talented students brought the magic of Frozen: The West End Musical to life in two unforgettable performances. The production was a tremendous success, delighting audiences with its energy, talent and professionalism.

A huge congratulations to every student who took part in the production. From the principal cast to the ensemble, musicians, dancers and backstage crew, every member of the team played an important role in creating a truly spectacular show. Their commitment, enthusiasm and countless hours of rehearsal were evident in every performance, and they should all be immensely proud of what they achieved.

Our cast delivered outstanding performances, with every actress bringing confidence, emotion and sparkle to the stage. Their hard work and dedication over many months shone through, captivating audiences from the opening scene to the final curtain call.

The performances were beautifully accompanied by our school band, whose exceptional musicianship added depth, emotion and excitement throughout the production. Their outstanding contribution helped bring the story to life and was greatly appreciated by everyone in the audience.

The spectacular scenery and stage design, expertly created by the Art and Technology Department, transformed the stage into the enchanting world of Arendelle. Combined with stunning costumes, lighting and technical effects, the production looked every bit as impressive as it sounded.

Our dazzling dancers added colour, energy and excitement throughout the show, impressing audiences with their enthusiasm, precision and flair. Their performances complemented the cast perfectly and added to the magic of every scene.

Productions of this scale are only possible through the commitment of many people behind the scenes. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the staff who generously gave their time, expertise and encouragement throughout rehearsals and performances. Their patience, creativity and dedication ensured that every aspect of the production ran smoothly and provided our students with an unforgettable opportunity.

Most importantly, congratulations once again to every student involved. Your talent, teamwork, resilience and determination were an inspiration, and you created a production that entertained, amazed and made the entire school community incredibly proud. The standing ovations at the end of each performance were a fitting tribute to all your hard work and commitment. Frozen will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the highlights of the school year, our final one in this school hall and every student involved should take great pride in their remarkable achievement.

On Thursday 19th December, our school community came together for a truly magical Christmas Concert, and what a night it was! The event was a complete sell-out, reflecting the excitement and support for our talented students.

The evening was filled with superb musical performances, starting with a rousing “Jingle Bells” from the Brass Group, followed by a wonderfully festive “Holly Jolly Christmas” performed by the Woodwind Group. A special highlight of the night was the first-ever performance by our new String Group, who delivered a beautiful and moving rendition of “Silent Night.”

The energy continued with a brilliant Dance performance, featuring a lively Christmas Mashup that delighted the audience. Performing Arts students also shone, treating us to fantastic performances of the School Song from Matilda and the ever-popular “You Can’t Stop the Beat.”We were also incredibly proud of our Year 10 and Year 11 GCSE Music groups, who gave confident and impressive performances, showcasing their hard work and musical development.Thank you to all students, staff, and families who supported this wonderful evening.

We are delighted to share that all proceeds from the concert will go towards our Summer Musical, Frozen. If this concert was anything to go by, we are in for something truly special!

Thirty talented musicians from Penwortham Girls’ High School brought festive cheer to the local community this term by taking part in a joyful Festive Roadshow, visiting Penwortham Primary School, Tesco, and Cop Lane C E Primary School.

The students showcased a wide range of musical talent, performing as part of the school orchestra, woodwind ensemble, and string group. The programme was further enriched by several superb solo performances, giving audiences the chance to enjoy both ensemble and individual musicianship.

Each venue was filled with a wonderful seasonal atmosphere, and the performances were warmly received by pupils, staff, shoppers, and members of the public alike. Smiles, applause, and festive spirit followed the musicians throughout the day.

The students were a credit to the school, performing with enthusiasm, professionalism, and confidence. There were many compliments from audience members, praising both the high standard of music and the positive energy the performers brought with them.

The Festive Roadshow was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for everyone involved and a fantastic way for Penwortham Girls’ High School to share music and seasonal goodwill with the wider community. 🎶🎄
