The joy of schooling in surroundings such as these! A new year for learners at Kwasa College and we've doubled grade 1 intake, but the whole School is full, with a waiting list.

Can it really be 4 years this month since St Martin-in-the-Fields Choir visited us and learned some of our songs, just as we learned one of their stranger folk songs! We look forward to the day you can return and see our new hall, and our IT lab. Fingers also crossed for our grant request to Church Matters with Ecclesiastical for Raspberry Pi units so we can teach coding as well as singing!🎼🎮⌨️⌨️
