Oakfield's Got Talent 2025

Oakfield's Got Talent 2025 - What a treat!

Once again, our Oakfield Academy pupils pulled off a stunning show. Despite what turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year, not one pupil gave anything less than their very best. The evening was full of joy, teamwork, resilience, bravery…..the list goes on. We had a huge cast of 91 pupils this year and it was amazing to see so many of our younger pupils pulling off some stunning performances that pupils twice their age would be proud of.

Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff who gave their support in whatever capacity.
Miss Davel and the Friends of Oakfield for the fabulous refreshments and to Mr Millard and team for all the help with chairs! Thank you to Ms Mundy and her art team for the incredible stage decorations - wow! Thank you to Mrs Pinches for her inspiring work with our
Shakespeare Club. Thank you to the talented Miss Morris and Miss Haig for all of their creativity and flair, pulling off two very professional numbers with the
Drama Club. Thank you to the brilliant Mr Oates for all his technical support. He has now been renamed ‘The Wizard of Oak’ (our Year 3’s definitely think so after yesterday's 'taster day' ).

WHAT A TEAM AND WHAT A SHOW!
Congratulations everyone.

Oakfield's Got Talent

Showtime

From murder to musical magic, Oakfield’s Performing Arts Department does it again! On Wednesday night, 50 Oakfield Academy pupils pulled off a breathtaking performance, showcasing a huge range of theatrical talent. To start, the packed hall was captivated by a powerful rendition of Shakespeare’s iconic play, Macbeth. It was the first time the Academy has attempted a tragedy and pupils from all year groups rose to the challenge – delivering the original language with confidence and understanding. Within the final scenes of the play, there was an action-packed battle scene, demonstrating fabulous knowledge of stage fighting techniques, culminating in the realistic death of the tyrant king. After the interval, the tragic mood was lightened by an incredible musical performance – based on 2 classic fairy tales – with a twist provided by Miss Haig and Miss Morris’s humorous script. Characters were brilliantly portrayed by a new cast, who perfected choreography and performed a variety of songs from One Direction to Taylor Swift. Thanks also to the huge army of people who helped make the show such a success – the Art Department for the wonderful staging, the office staff for tickets and programmes, Mr Oates for sound, our site team for all their work before and after the performance and parents for all their help with costumes and line-learning. Many congratulations to all performers and the amazing tech crew. The teamwork and talent on show was outstanding – we are so proud of each and every one of you!
