School's Lion King show was a roaring success
The audience went wild when the final curtains closed on this epic production put on by St Stephen’s CE Primary School, Burnley.
Children from Years 4, 5 and 6 rehearsed tirelessly to present the show last week, transforming into a host of beasts prowling the animal kingdom in this Disney classic.

“I am so proud of all of the children for their commitment, dedication and outstanding performances,” she said.
Year 6 Teacher Jonathan Pye, who helped out as a volunteer, added: “Mrs Corney deserves a huge applause for acting as the glue holding the whole show together. Thanks also to all the parents, teaching assistants and the church community for all their help.”
