JANUARY NEWS : ‘THE ADDAMS FAMILY – SCHOOL EDITION’ – A SHOW‑SPECTACULAR WEEK!

What a spooktacular week it was for our #PerformingArts team and our incredible #TeamRatton cast, as we brought this year’s whole‑school production of ‘The Addams Family – School Edition’ to life on The Royal Hippodrome Theatre, Eastbourne stage!🎭🎬
A fabulously kooky, spooky and utterly joyful display of talent lit up the stage each night, from powerful vocals and expressive acting to slick choreography, atmospheric music, and some truly brilliant comedic timing. Every performance was bursting with energy, atmosphere and that unmistakable #TeamRatton spirit.⭐🤩⭐
Each year, our #PeformingArts students remind us just how extraordinary they are, not only in their acting, singing and dancing, but in the friendship, teamwork and community spirit they show throughout the entire rehearsal and performance process.
Watching every year group come together, support one another and lift each other up is what makes this production so special.
We also want to celebrate the unwavering dedication and creativity of our Performing Arts team, whose commitment, countless hours and artistic vision make this magical experience possible for our students and wider community.
A huge THANK YOU to our phenomenal cast, backstage crew, tech teams, costume teams, musicians and everyone who played a part in this unforgettable week. You were sensational — WELL DONE!
🎭🎬 THAT’S A WRAP FOR 2026! 🎭🎬
