A SCHOOL came alive to music and dance during a drama week.

Pupils at Bishop Bridgeman CE Primary, Bolton, found themselves showing off their creative talent, rather than studying their usual timetable.

Throughout the week pupils at the Rupert Street school put on a play, staged a concert and welcomed visitors in, including a dance school, theatre company and Bolton Music Service.

The school stages three "superlearning" weeks a year focusing on different subjects. The school's music co-ordinator, Helen Rigby said: "This was a chance for the pupils to become creative.

"The children love it and gives them a chance to explore other talents they have. Which often they do not have the time to do.

"In the past we have such weeks focused on numeracy and literacy and art."

The week ended with a fancy dress day and a performance of Bishop Bridgeman Has Got Talent.
