After a lengthy application process, including a student video application, Riverside was announced as the chosen UK school.

Ms. Bloomer, Head of Performing Arts, said: “We are thrilled that the talented, dedicated and incredible students of Riverside get this fantastic opportunity. Over 300 students auditioned and we were absolutely bowled over. It’s going to be a brilliant show and a once in a lifetime experience”.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be staged in the main Hall from 20th-22nd March and tickets will become available soon.
