Wow! What a day!
Sunday 21st September marked the very first day of classes at Jigsaw Performing Arts Streatham at Bishop Thomas Grant school, and we were absolutely blown away by the incredible response from local families. Nearly 50 families came through our doors to celebrate the launch, filling the space with excitement, laughter, and most importantly, JOY!
From the moment families arrived, there was a real buzz in the air. Parents were greeted with a warm welcome and a well-earned biscuit (because we know Sundays are busy for grown-ups too!), while our new Jigsaw students were treated to fabulous classes, branded balloons, and a sweet treat to take home at the end of the day.
Once the sessions began, the atmosphere was electric. Children jumped straight into singing, dancing, and drama…many of them for the very first time. It was awesome to see new friendships form, little voices grow braver, and smiles getting bigger as the morning unfolded. By the end of class, children were racing out the door to their parents, beaming with pride and excitement.
But this day was about more than just opening a new school. It was about beginning a new creative community here in Streatham. And if the joy we saw on that very first Sunday is anything to go by, this is just the start of something truly special.
We can’t wait to welcome everyone back next week and continue this wonderful adventure together. Here’s to many more Sundays filled with singing, dancing, and drama!
If you’d like to join the Jigsaw Streatham family, it’s not too late to book a trial. We’d love to welcome you!
