WE ARE BRINGING THE MAGIC OF PANTO TO THE HEATH SCHOOL THIS CHRISTMAS
As a way of saying well done to our pupils for the manner in which they have changed routines in school this year, we are delighted to bring Panto-style festive cheer to our students this Christmas season with The Helix Panto Online.

Produced by TheatreworX, 'Red Riding Hood- Schools Edition' is available exclusively to schools to stream on- demand.

Will Red finally realise her true destiny and save Fairytale Land from the clutches of the darkness?

Will they all live happily ever after?

Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out!! 😊

With panto favourites Buddy (Colin Hughes), Laurel (Aidan Mannion), the Wicked Warlock (Paul Byrom), and the outrageous Dame Lola (Chris Corroon), the Helix Panto Online is back for a second year to ensure your whole school can laugh their troubles away.
