Cowdray Hall Success

Well done to our seven pupils who performed in the first lunchtime recital concert of 2025 at Cowdray Hall. They delivered a polished and varied programme to a packed audience of enthusiastic music lovers. A big thank you to Ms Donati for accompanying the trip and to Mrs Kyle for her fantastic accompaniment during the concert.

Audition Season

This week, we held a series of ACMS auditions, and we were impressed by the hard work and preparation shown by the pupils and their families. It’s always exciting to glimpse the musical potential that could shape the future of our school!

Adam and his Band

Huge congratulations to Adam and his band, WyldKat for making it through to the grand final of 2024–2025: Battle of the Bands! Ticket info is available online, and I’m sure Adam and the band would be grateful for any support on the night. Please note that age restrictions may apply. While previous rounds had a 14+ limit, there’s no current information on this for the final, so do check the event details online.
