Charis

Charis came to Thames in Year 9 from a top independent London school where she was unhappy with the ethos. Gifted in dance and performing arts, Charis, who is dyslexic, flourished in our smaller environment where each pupil is known as an individual. She achieved 8 A*s in Art, Music, English Language, English Literature, History, Religious Studies, Science and Additional Science and As in Drama and Maths. Charis was outstanding as Millie in our 2014 production of the high-spirited musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. She contributed to school life as Deputy Head Girl and as a mentor at a nearby primary school. After taking A levels at Southend High School for Boys, she studied for a BA in Contemporary Dance at Northern School of Contemporary Dance and an MA in Dance Performance at Trinity Laban. She works as a dancer and performance artist.
