Dance Live 2022

We are extremely proud of the superb performance our pupils gave at Dance Live 2022 last night at Portsmouth Guildhall. They excelled themselves! All of the young people taking part put their heart and soul into a fantastic show after what has been another very challenging year. Seeing them all perform so well on stage was a real joy for those of us in the audience who had the pleasure of being so well entertained. Thanks and well done to all the children who took part and for all of you that supported the hard work that went into putting on such a great performance. A special thanks to Lia Chance for keeping dance alive at Bitterne Manor once again this year. Thank you!

Our Amazing Cats!

We were treated to a purrfect performance of 'CATS' this week. Our amazingly talented pupils created their own version of the musical to entertain us during their after school dance club. Well done and a 5/5 start review to them! Thanks to Hannah & Lia for their dedication and support for the performing arts at BMPS!

Bitterne's Got Talent!

Our talented Year 6 pupils put on their leavers' show for parents and family members last night. We were all very entertained by song, dance, comedy, magic, martial arts and even a dog act! It was great show and brilliant to see a fantastic bunch of children having so much fun.

Philharmagic Orchestra visit BMPS!

The children had a treat this morning when they were entertained by the fantastic Philharmagic Orchestra. It was great to listen to all the children's favourite songs being played live and to even get up and have a dance! One of our own very talented musicians was also able to take part. A huge well done to Lucy Gowans, who seemed very much part of the orchestra, even though she only received the music yesterday!

JRock 2016 Performance: Candyland!

More pictures from last nights JRock 2016 performance of Candyland by Bitterne Manor. An amazing production and the children were all superb! What a great team and what an all round effort putting everything together. They should all be very proud of themselves and what they have achieved. We were so very proud of our children watching last night! Well done to all those who contributed and we'll be celebrating them in assembly this morning. We need to say a huge thank you to the group of parents and staff who made this happen - especially to Leah, Hannah &  Amber for their inspiration, organisation and choreography. There'll be one more post later this morning announcing our results...!
