Assistant Director of Music, Jamal Sutton, welcomes the School back and tells us the latest news. Key points include new ensembles on offer, individual pupil achievements, and the latest on upcoming concerts.

Our Deputy Director of Art, Miss Pinkney, was inspired by a desire to paint large physical works and to return to the sensation of making a direct mark on a large surface.
