Wednesday 12 June 2024 Endangered instruments The oboe and bassoon, both taught by Mr Marshall, are beautiful but ‘endangered’ instruments. Often overlooked by instrumental learners, they have crucial roles to play in orchestras and concert bands and are extremely useful instruments to have being learned at school. We have a good quality oboe and bassoon in our instrumental stock and would encourage those interested to get in touch with Mr Coates. This would particularly suit younger first study piano players looking to add an orchestral instrument to their music making.

Thursday 21 December 2023 Reverse Advent Calendar - Foodbank Donations On Tuesday we collected all the boxes that pupils and staff had so kindly filled. Despite the rain the superstar girls in 8B & 8D helped me load the bus. There was a feast of goods and I felt a really warm feeling that as a school we had once again taken up the challenge of the Reverse Advent Calendar. And why not? After all It is a fun way of teaching pupils the importance of helping others and seeing the bigger picture at Christmas and more importantly that they have given a Christmas gift to someone that really needed it.
