Mr Galley, Subject Leader for Music, said: “The concert was the last for a few of our incredibly talented year 11 and 13 musicians as they are leaving to go onto university and pastures new. A huge thank you to James Sides, Zak Bowker, Sophia Anthousis, Annalisa Morgan, Alex Bailey, Elliot Lloyd, Jakob Harper and Josh Prince who have all been involved in and starred in concerts and school shows in the last 7 years”.
Mrs Howard, Deputy Curriculum Leader for Art, Design and Technology, said: “It was a fantastic school event supported by all our staff from ADT as well as across the school. We would like to thank all the students involved and the Rotary Club for their support with prizes and taking the time to come and judge the exhibition. As always, we are looking forward to next year’s Summer Showcase”.
