    • Inter-form Dance 2020

      Published 08/12/20

      In a year that has seen many cancellations and challenges, it is lovely that we can still have positive events.  The annual Inter-form Dance is always a joy:  the teamworking that it encourages, the fun for the students in working to the set theme and the excitement of the competition sessions.   It is a privilege to be able to be involved in the judging process, although often this is quite a challenge.  This year the standard has been incredible, as good as entrants in Festival Competitions who spend months preparing under the guidance of dance teachers.  There were also some very good solos, duets and trios and I really commend those students on their talents and their confidence in presenting them.

    • Upper School and Sixth Form Chamber Concert

      Published 23/10/20

      This term has been like no other in the Music Department, but our students have continued to excel and create exceptional music, both individually and with others in their bubbles. Our GCSE students have taken on a new challenge this year by organising, leading, hosting and editing together a virtual concert rather than a live one. This has involved them learning to use new ICT software and communicating electronically and remotely with those in other year groups so that you, the audience, can enjoy this concert in the comfort of your own home or at a time which suits you.
