Armistice Day 2023
In Flanders' fields the poppies blow. Between the crosses, row on row, that mark our place: and in the sky. The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, loved and were loved, and now we lie. In Flanders' fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high,
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders' Fields.
We will remember them
Let's Show
Our ‘Music Showcase Evening’ on Tuesday 10th October was an absolute blast! The soloists were simply mind-blowing, leaving us all in awe of their musical prowess. The lovely string group transported us to another world with their enchanting melodies and let's not forget about the vocal group and chamber choir, who gave us goosebumps with their harmonies and powerful voices. However, the cherry on top was the year 11 band, who rocked the stage. What an incredible evening filled with talent, passion, and pure joy! A huge well done to all the performers for sharing their gifts with us. You truly made our night unforgettable. Let's keep supporting and celebrating the amazing musical talents within our school community. Stay tuned for more incredible performances in the future!
