Read MoreMusic Scholarships, good news!
Published 10/02/23, by Angela SlaterMusic has been much on my mind recently. Over the last week or so, we have been receiving the results of our boys' Music Scholarship auditions, there has been a lot of good news, and a lot of very happy boys.

Published 03/02/23, by Angela SlaterI had Year 5 parents’ evenings last week, Year 7 parents’ evenings this week, and I have started my Year 5 Future Schools meetings (potentially 42 half hour meetings in three weeks – phew!); I have spent a lot of time talking about pupils’ progress and potential with parents in the last 10 days.
