STUDENTS at Aveley's Ormiston Park Academy recently completed a successful production of the musical Annie.

Ormiston principal Mark Roessler said: "It was fantastic to see our students' hard work and professionalism demonstrated so clearly through the unequivocal success of the show. They all very much deserved the standing ovations at each performance.

"Our performing arts department also did an exceptional job at teaching the students about how a professional musical production is created and offering them the opportunity to showcase their individual talents."
