The Curriculum and Assessment Review has been published today. It is clear that the government recognises the important role that creative arts subjects play in a balanced curriculum and we can see progress towards ensuring that arts subjects are an entitlement for every child.

Her screen credits included the inimitable Sybil in Fawlty Towers, but she was equally at home in the theatre where she demonstrated her extraordinary versatility in plays by Wilde, Chekhov, Pinter & Alan Bennett. Our thoughts are with Samuel & Joe, & her wider family & friends.

We are so sad to hear of the death of Prunella Scales. Prunella appeared at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre near the beginning of her career in the mid 1950s, with roles including Juliet in Measure for Measure, and Nerissa in The Merchant of Venice.
