Dear Parents,
This is a suggested costume list for the production. It is essential that all costumes are in school the week beginning Monday 2nd July. If you would like to discuss your child's costume then please come in and chat to us.
Please look at what your child requires for the show; often the internet can be quite helpful for costume designs. Please feel free to use your own artistic flair. Oliver Twist is set in the Victorian era.
