On Tuesday evening, we had our Performing Arts dinner in the Gransden Hall 🎭🎼🩰

This annual event is an opportunity for students involved in Music, Drama and Dance, their parents, and staff to celebrate the end of the school year in style.

After an inspiring speech from Mr Cracknell on the importance of music in education for its own sake, it was time to announce the evening's prizewinners!

Congratulations to Betsy, Sophie, Lizzie, Rosie, Amor, Honor and Coco on your music awards, and to everyone else who received performing arts prizes πŸ’

The food was delicious, the company was fabulous, and the whole evening was a success! Thank you to everyone involved in organising and running it ❀️

Jenny (L6) will be spending two weeks in the US over the summer, taking part in the Philadelphia International Music Festival's auditioned Symphony Orchestra senior programme.
