What a fantastic year of musical achievement!

We would like to congratulate all of our pupils who have worked so hard towards their music examinations this year. With over 40 pupils sitting exams across a wide range of instruments, we are incredibly proud of the dedication, commitment and perseverance they have shown throughout the year.

Many pupils have already received excellent results, and we know there are still a few eagerly awaiting theirs. We have every confidence that all of their hard work will be rewarded, and we wish them the very best as they wait for their results.

A huge thank you also goes to our instrumental tutors, staff and families for their continued encouragement and support. Well done to every pupil on this wonderful achievement—you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves!

Our Year Forum pupils were busy earlier this month potting plants which they distributed to their form tutors this week as a thank you for all their support this year. Thank You!
