On Thursday, 26th June, Samuel Whitbread Academy came alive with colour, music, and community spirit as we hosted the BEST Summer Arts Festival, a joyous celebration of the incredible talent across the trust.

Families, students, and staff gathered for an unforgettable evening, showcasing the vibrant arts that make our Trust so special. From captivating musical performances and energetic dance routines to breathtaking gymnastics and inspiring visual art displays, the festival was a true testament to the creativity and dedication of our students and staff.

The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as families explored the different performances and exhibitions. Delicious food from a sizzling barbecue and an ice-cream truck added to the fun, making it a perfect summer’s evening for all ages.

We are incredibly proud of everyone who took part and grateful to all those who made the event possible, from performers and artists to the behind-the-scenes helpers. Your hard work and passion made this event a huge success.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the arts.
