Epping Forest College students with learning and physical difficulties had a whale of a time performing "tales from the Ocean" for crowds at the Borders Lane college.

The Preparation for Life and Work students put on the show, in the form of a medley of songs poems and dances of a nautical theme on June 23.

The students have been rehearsing since January for the show, and were delighted with how well the performance went.

Student Serena Roper also gave a solo performance of “Part of Your World”, taken from “The Little Mermaid” which had the audience in tears.

Kathryn Lowe, who directed the performance, said: ‘We wanted to get across to the audience that no matter what barriers you face, by working together you can achieve anything’.
