Music and Arts Week this week was an exciting celebration of creativity across the school, showcasing the wonderful and diverse talents of our pupils.
On Tuesday, Dr Krippner, Musical Director from the Cathedral, spoke to pupils in assembly about the work of the Cathedral choir. He led a singing session and then held auditions for the Cathedral choir, offering a wonderful opportunity for those interested in choral music.
Wednesday’s open afternoon was very well attended, with families and friends enjoying the impressive range of artwork displayed in our galleries and the array of musical talent demonstrated by our pupils. Visitors had the opportunity to watch musical performances in the classrooms featuring all pupils from Nursery to Year 6, as well as listening to the brass group and choir perform in the library. Individual pupils performed on a wide range of instruments, such as the oboe, flute, trumpet and piano, showing great confidence and talent. Finally, our School’s Out group performed their showdance to round off the afternoon. Thank you to all visitors, performers and helpers, and we are grateful for all the donations to our fundraising appeal.

It has been a memorable week that celebrated the arts in all their forms and highlighted the creativity within our school community. Well done to all!
