Cranbury Festival <strong>2018</strong><br />

On<br />

a very hot sunny day, Saturday 14th July <strong>2018</strong> <strong>Cranford</strong> opened its<br />

doors to the school and community to enjoy the Cranbury Festival.<br />

The festival was a celebration of arts, storytelling and sports,<br />

the first for four years and was the combined initiative between the Creative Arts<br />

Department, PE, Community Sports, the Heston West Big Local, Bounce Theatre<br />

and ZeroPlus theatre company. It took its name from a combination of Cran(ford)<br />

and (Glaston)bury.<br />

WATCH IT LIVE ON BIG SCREE<br />

CRANBURY<br />

During the day visitors were entertained by student bands, singers performing a<br />

catalogue of original songs and dancers on the live stage, storytelling in various<br />

“pods” around the site and were welcomed by the characters from Alice in Wonderland<br />

to join the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to decorate cakes and meet the characters. In<br />

addition, a range of sports workshops and taster sessions were on offer run by various<br />

community sports groups and <strong>Cranford</strong> Sports Leaders helped to manage the signing<br />

up. Sports on offer included a number of activities provided by QPR including: UV<br />

dodgeball, soft archery, and football challenges. London Welsh offered touch rugby,<br />

Spidernets Badminton Club ran taster sessions as did the Kendo Club and the Boxing<br />

There were a number of school and community stalls selling various<br />

crafts, foods and activities. Face painting and henna proved very<br />

popular as did the curry stall run by our wonderful Chartwells staff<br />

led by Lettie. In addition, we gave samples of various foods from<br />

our stunning food stories recipe book created by the students in<br />

creative arts alongside jewellery, badges and T shirts all made by the<br />

students. Other stalls included a First Story writing workshop, an Alumni<br />

stall recruiting former students to join our school alumni and the local army<br />

cadets offered first aid support whist running an obstacle course.<br />

A main thread of the arts at the festival was storytelling. Students in creative<br />

arts have been working all term on various story performances ranging from<br />

a re-creation of a traditional tale like Jack and Beanstalk to sensory stimulate<br />

stories made up or retold from their culture. Zero Plus theatre also retold cultural<br />

stories and ran workshops for anyone who had a desire to take part.<br />
