Friends For All

Friday 24 March, 10.30am & 1pm. Saturday 25 March, 1pm & 3pm.

8 year old Lexi doesn’t make friends as easily as some. If only her school would allow a non-school uniform day then she could be herself and find others like her. Inspired by Grandad’s hippy stories from the swinging 60s, she decides to fight the powers that be, namely her class teacher Mr Marsh and the class bully, Suzy.

The show is suitable for ages 5 – 11 and inspires students to think about how they can effect change in today’s society and their local community. Supporting activity links to PSHE and Citizenship Key Stage 1 & 2.
