What Wings of Eagles Performing Arts means to me:

• the light in a child’s eye when they hear applause for something that they have done
• the excitement that we all feel before a performance
• the genuine friendships that blossom between the pupils
• the way so many pupils are so pleased when a fellow pupil succeeds
• the excitement when someone moves on to higher education
• the privilege when a past pupil writes to tell us what they are doing
• the tingle I feel when pupils dance and sing out the name of Jesus
• the pupil’s eager response to help the Tanzanian orphans in the Tumaini Fund and other charities

John M. Le Huray - Administrator

Born and educated in Guernsey, Channel Islands, John traveled the world in the Merchant Navy, emigrated to Canada for 5 years before returning to the island where he eventually met and married Wendy.

They both ran a hotel for some years before John became a Christian, John, Wendy and youngest daughter Alison moved to the UK in 1994 as their two older daughters already lived there and shortly afterwards Wendy set up 'Stage Struck' in Keswick and then Cockermouth (which she had run in Guernsey for 10 years) which was soon to become Wings of Eagles.

John Became Verger at Crosthwaite Church in Keswick and as 'Wings of Eagles' grew he became more involved in designing posters, concert programme's, writing newsletters etc. until he retired and now devotes himself almost full time to the administration of the school.

John also has many years experience on the amateur stage and often helps out the pupils with their poems and readings.
