Every pupil in Year 7 was involved in a giant, light-hearted murder mystery festival in the sport hall in which they designed, rehearsed and performed their own devised murder mystery play to the whole year. The pupils had been tasked with coming into school dressed in a costume of their choice that reflected a particular character such as a chef or a spy. They received tuition as to how to structure their play and then set about plotting their mystery plays armed with motives for the suspects. The plays were performed with a flashback structure, allowing the audience to try to spot clues as to who the secret villain was! There were many terrific ideas on show as to where to set their drama. Highlights included the plays set backstage at Glastonbury, on a Norwegian Fjord cruise ship and luxury water villas out in the Maldives!
