A huge congratulations to the cast and crew of Pride and Prejudice on an outstanding production. Their hard work, creativity and commitment resulted in a captivating performance which charmed audiences this week. Students embraced a wide range of roles, both on stage and behind the scenes, including acting, musicianship, costume assistance, prop design and technical support.

Directed by Mr Harvey and Mrs Hargreaves, they brought Andrew Davies’s script and Jane Austen's world to life on a fabulous set which whirled the audience from Longbourn to Netherfield, Rosings to Pemberley, with deft scene changes handled by a comic party of footmen and maids. Thank you to Mr Atkinson, whose costumes were a triumph, and to all staff who supported the production.

Last week our annual SingOFF competition saw 13 talented singers perform in front of a sold-out audience. Our performers’ passion and enthusiasm received great reactions from the crowd, including emotional tears from the judges.

Emeline captivated the judges with her performance of ABBA's 'The Winner Takes it All', securing first place. Merryn earned second with her performance of 'All I Want' by Olivia Rodrigo. Alex earned third place with Beyoncé’s 'Listen'. Salim with his original performance 'Coffee Place' was the night’s Fan Favourite.

A huge congrats to all performers! The student-led team have raised over £2000 for Young Sounds UK, a charity that support talented young musicians from low-income families, helping them to overcome financial and social barriers to music.

With the latest addition of Montenegro, we now proudly display 106 flags in our Dining Hall.

From Argentinian to Zimbabwean, the flags represent the different nationalities of students and staff at Sevenoaks since the tradition began around 2000. Every year Mrs Haworth, our Deputy Head Boarding, ensures that any new nationalities are represented.

Hung across the central beams and along the windows, the colourful display celebrates the diversity and global outlook of our school community.
