Musicals
Musicals are an important part of Kingswood Academy's personal development offer. Each year the academy performs a musical to parents, students, the local community and feeder primary schools. These must see productions are offered free of charge and students involved also perform a medley of songs at the annual academy awards at the Bonus Arena. We are also excited that for our 2023 production of Oliver our Orchestra will be providing all of the musical accompaniment.
