You won`t want to miss this absolutely delightful showcase from @dandbperforming!

This summer, D&B Theatre School took a trip down memory lane, blending their Wednesday night street classes with an exciting Street Dance 90`s Music Video - and the best part? It was all filmed in just one day right here at our very own school!

D&B Theatre School, is a renowned London-based performing arts academy, known for offering a well-rounded curriculum that nurtures students through college, theatre school, and agency training. Some of their talented performers are Breaside alumni, making it the perfect location to showcase their hard work and passion.

What makes this performance extra special is the sense of community that was brought together. Students from a variety of schools came together to showcase the incredible skills they`ve honed at D&B Theatre School, and we’re thrilled that our grounds could be the backdrop to their talents. A special mention goes to one of our own Breaside students, who took centre stage as a beginner dancer, marking an exciting milestone in their performing arts journey.

Join us in celebrating this amazing collaboration and the outstanding talent of all those involved. The energy, creativity, and dedication on display is truly something to be proud of! 🎬👏

What a spotacular day we had at Breaside last Friday, all in support of Children in Need! Our staff and pupils fully embraced this year’s theme, turning the school into a joyful sea of spots!

The day began with our weekly celebration assembly, setting the tone for a day of smiles and excitement. Just before lunch, the classrooms were filled with the sound of children singing Take That’s iconic “Never Forget” - a lovely moment that had us all tapping our toes. Of course, we still managed to squeeze in some lessons amidst the fun!

We hope you enjoyed tuning into Children in Need on Friday night as much as we enjoyed celebrating it together. A huge thank-you for your generous support, it truly makes a difference! 🐻💛

We are thrilled to announce that our Early Years department has been awarded Millie’s Mark for the third time! This prestigious accreditation, first achieved in 2017, is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team, who undergo thorough audits and inspections every three years to ensure we meet the highest safety standards.

Millie’s Mark is a special recognition for Early Years settings that go beyond the basic requirements to keep children safe. It means that 100% of our staff are Paediatric First Aid trained and have taken additional, in-depth training to ensure your child is in the safest hands possible. 
 
This mark, awarded by the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) in partnership with the Department for Education and Millie’s Trust, is something we are immensely proud of - It reflects our commitment to excellence in childcare and our dedication to your little ones’ wellbeing.
 
A huge well done to our incredible Early Years staff for achieving this once again! We`re so proud of their efforts to create a safe and nurturing environment for every child.
