Romeo and Juliet 2010

‘For never was a story of more woe

Than this of Juliet and her Romeo..’

We are delighted to let you know about this year’s school production, Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’, at 7pm on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th July 2010.  After last year’s success of ‘The Wiz’, we are performing once again at the City Hall as part of the Sheffield Children’s Festival.  The Memorial Hall is a smaller, more intimate space and has inspired us to set the play in the jazz era.  Our fast paced production promises a mixture of romance, comedy and tragedy.

High Storrs School is renowned for its exciting, high quality productions with a talented cast and this one is not to be missed.

Tickets priced £7/£5 (concessions) can be bought from the Sheffield City Hall Box Office, Barkers Pool, Sheffield 1 – Tel. 0114 2789 789.  You can also obtain tickets from the school Finance Office from 14th June by returning the attached slip (see below to download this).

‘Good-night, good-night!  Parting is such sweet sorrow

That I shall say good-night till it be morrow.’


Full letter, with reply slip

Technology and the new MLE

Our BSF rebuild has given us a real chance to expand the ways that we use technology at school. High Storrs now has a stronger focus than ever on using technology to enhance teaching and learning, and also to make the school a more connected, efficient and collaborative place.

Our Managed Learning Environment (MLE) is currently being developed, and teachers are starting to use this as a learning resource for students. This video explains what the MLE is, and also details some of the other ways in which technology is impacting what we do at High Storrs.
