    🎶 What a night to remember! 

Our talented pupils from Years 7 to 9 rocked the stage at our Music Talent Show, all in support of @musicforallcharity a charity dedicated to promoting health, well-being, and education through music across the UK. 🌟

From the lively beats of Year 7’s Rhythm Bash band performing James Brown’s ‘I Got You (I Feel Good)’ to captivating solos and harmonious choir renditions, the evening was filled with incredible performances. Highlights included Georgiana and Annabel’s show-stopping musical numbers, Gibran’s piano mastery with ‘Over The Bars’, and Maya’s stunning rendition of ‘Interstellar X Cornfield Chase’. 🎤🎹🎻

👑Dom was the overall winner with his rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

Thank you to our esteemed judges, Mr. Curtis and Mr. Hockedy, and everyone who came out to support this wonderful cause. Together, we are making a difference and sharing the joy of music with all.

Our egg and spoon race this morning was no yolk - talk about an eggs-hilarating competition!
 
🐰The girls donned their bunny ears and took to the quad for a crackin’ good time.
 
🍳It was an egg lottery with raw and hard-boiled eggs, with quite a few ending up smashed on the ground.
 
Wolstenholme emerged as the final victors with Miss Turner winning the final lap by a bunny’s whisker.
 
A special mention goes to Blake for her egg-ceptionally decorated eggs.
