YOUNG aspiring actors in Headington are gearing up to take part in the world's largest simultaneous performance to break a Guinness World Record.

The youngsters from Stagecoach Headington will team up with schools nationwide and abroad, including Germany and Canada to stage Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Two former Stagecoach students, Emma Watson and Nathan Mack, both played leading roles of Belle and Chip the Teacup in the film last year.

If sucessful, the school will break its own record standing from 2008. More info can be found at stagecoach.co.uk/headington
