Stagecoach High Wycombe & Marlow sparkle at Christmas Lights Switch-On


As crowds filled the High Street for the 2025 Christmas Lights Switch-On last weekend, students from Stagecoach High Wycombe & Marlow delivered a truly magical performance, setting a festive tone for the evening.
Students mesmorised the audience with beautiful renditions from the Senior Troupe who performed to Christmas Dance!, the Vocal Troupe who sang and danced to When You Wish Upon a Star, Further Stages who performed to Beautiful Sound! and the Marlow Senior Troupe who took to the stage performing ‘Its Not Christmas Without You!’.
The energy, confidence and joy they performed with had the crowd clapping and singing along, creating an electric community atmosphere long before the lights had officially been switched on.
Stagecoach High Wycombe provides high-quality performing arts training for children, helping young people grow in creativity, confidence and self-belief, and the students, aged between 4 and 18 years old, performed with confidence, enthusiasm and gusto.


Principal Clare Gosling was so proud of her young troupe, stating: “I could not be prouder of our incredible students. They brought sparkle, joy and pure Christmas magic to the stage today. Seeing the crowd singing along and sharing in the children’s excitement is exactly why we love doing these community events. Our students worked so hard, and today they truly shone.”
A proud parent commented: “Watching them perform in front of such a huge crowd was amazing. They looked so confident and absolutely loved every moment.”
With a network of over 60,000 students and more than 3,000 extra-curricular Performing Arts Schools worldwide, Stagecoach aims to make a difference in its students’ lives by teaching Creative Courage for Life and many children have gone on to study and work in Performing Arts from blockbuster films to countless roles in local theatre productions.
Bookings are now open for Stagecoach High Wycombe, Henley and Marlow's exciting Christmas Workshop on 22nd December, featuring a K-Pop theme - a high-energy, creative and fun day open to both Stagecoach students and non-students.


New students can also now sign up for a two-week trial to experience singing, dancing and acting classes first-hand.
Stagecoach High Wycombe is also thrilled to announce a free new Early Stages class on Wednesday, beginning in January. These dynamic weekly classes for children aged four to six are all about building confidence, making friends and expanding children’s imaginations.
