Highfield pupils in their production of 'The Wizard of Oz'

Highfield Prep School has proudly presented its annual production, featuring "The Wizard of Oz" performed by Year 6 pupils.

The school's Head of Drama; Catherine Fearn and Head of Music; Clare Gray, were behind bringing the beloved classic to life on stage.

The show featured three Dorothys, along with dual portrayals of Tim Woodcutter, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow.

The creative vision behind the set design came to fruition thanks to Highfield Art Teacher; Kat Honey, who worked after hours to craft the Land of Oz.

The annual school production aimed to serve as a platform for pupils to build confidence, forge friendships, and create memories.
