STUDENTS at a Stratford dance and drama school gave their all in a series of shows to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

The Hadland School of Dance and Drama took to the town's Civic Hall stage for a show called The Rhythm of Life, which used all aspects of dance and drama in a performance that involved 200 of its pupils.

The shows were held to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital and took place at the beginning of the month.

Principal Lesley Hadland said: "It was a great success and to date we have presented £2,200 to the hospital."
