Our Year 10s have been performing the painfully awkward Mickey & Linda scene from Blood Brothers! 🫣

They captured the pure agony of teenage crushes perfectly - fidgeting, avoided eye contact, and total tongue-ties. Excellent work! 👏✨

Half the room is in full-on composer mode, writing original tracks, while the other half is furiously practicing for upcoming performances.

Keep up the great work, Year 9! Future rockstars in the making 🌟

✨ What a Night! ✨
Last Thursday, we rolled out the red carpet for one of the highlights of our school calendar: Night Full of Stars (NFOS)! ⭐

It was an incredible evening celebrating the massive achievements, talents, and hard work of our amazing students. We are so incredibly proud of everything they’ve accomplished, and it was wonderful to celebrate alongside their families and our wider school community.

- Show-Stopping Performances: Guests were treated to fantastic musical sets from the JOG choir and the cast of The Addams Family 🎶.
- Giving Back: Our Student Leadership Group presented donations to this year's chosen local charities, Daisy's Dream and The Hungerford Hub 🤝.
