Gordano School’s recent production of Our House was a fantastic success, showcasing the energy, talent and teamwork of students from across the school. 

With its iconic music by Madness, the show featured high-energy dance numbers, stand-out performances and a strong ensemble cast, supported by a dedicated backstage and technical crew. The production was the result of months of rehearsals, collaboration and commitment, and we are extremely proud of everyone involved — both on stage and behind the scenes. 

The impact of the production went far beyond the stage. Students spoke passionately about the experience, highlighting the confidence, friendships and skills they gained along the way: 

“I have made friends for life through Our House” 

“I’ve loved working with students in different year groups. We’ve all bonded so well” 

“The atmosphere on show nights was amazing. I want to do it all over again!” 

The production brought together students, staff, families and members of the local community, creating an unforgettable experience for all involved. 

The show has received glowing reviews from those who saw it: 

“So much talent in one show, they deserved that standing ovation!” 

“Wow, Our House was incredible. My daughter can’t wait to join Gordano in September!” 

“The chorus numbers were epic and everyone looked like they were having a ball” 

“A big thank you to all involved for your dedication and hard work” 

Louise Blundell, Headteacher said: “As Emily (Year 13 student who played Joe Casey) stated after the final curtain, 'Our House became a home, bringing together a cast who became family and a community who came together to support them'. It’s a perfect example of our school values in action — collaboration, inclusion and resilience shining through every performance, we are so very proud of everyone involved.”
