We are delighted to share some wonderful news from the Sutton Music Festival, which took place this past weekend. Around 45 of our Prep and Senior Speech and Drama students took part, performing poetry, monologues, and duologues with great enthusiasm and skill.
The adjudicator praised not only the quality of the performances but also the supportive spirit shown by our students, who celebrated each other’s work as much as their own. It was a proud moment for the school, as every participant represented us brilliantly.
