Hooray for Hollywood

We hope you enjoyed the Hooray for Hollywood concert - the students definitely did and it was lovely to see so big an audience!

Photos from this concert are now on the Music page of the school website for you to purchase - they are well worth a look! Print off and complete a form, and return it with payment to the Music Office. Photos make wonderful Christmas presents! Please Click Here

Very many thanks for the raffle prizes that were donated - we have held a few back for the Christmas concerts and would welcome anything else you are able to send in so that we can combine them to make lovely hampers.
