Young performers at Welshpool Church in Wales Primary School brought a touch of Disney magic to the stage with a colourful production of The Lion King Jr.

After weeks of rehearsals, upper school pupils delivered three performances of the popular musical, entertaining family members, friends, and the wider community with their singing, acting, and enthusiasm.

The shows drew warm applause from audiences, with the children's confidence and talent shining throughout the production.

The performance was supported by staff, parents, and local businesses, with Newmor Ltd of Welshpool donating a striking stage backdrop that helped transform the hall into the African Pride Lands.

Special praise was also given to Mrs Susan Bills and parent Donata, whose creativity and dedication helped bring the production to life through its costumes and scenery.

Geraint Morgan, class teacher, said: "Everyone involved is incredibly proud of what the children achieved.

"Their commitment, teamwork, and determination were evident throughout the production, making it an unforgettable experience for both performers and audiences alike.

"The school would like to congratulate every child who took part, as well as the staff, volunteers, and supporters who helped make the production such a resounding success."
