• Make some noise!

  Thu 31 Mar 2022

   

  Our termly Rocksteady concert took place this morning and we were treated to excellent performances of different music genres, which gave the audience a musical experience they would not forget!

   

  The children were confident and showed great resilience, courage and ability. The Rocksteady music sessions and termly concerts add further enrichment and wider learning opportunities for our pupils.

   

  Thank you to Sam who knows how to get the best out of our rockstars; he has helped our pupils to thrive and be more confident and we can see how much progress each of them have made musically. 

   

  Well done everyone!

  Prizes were give in a whole school celebration Collective Worship, for the best dressed and best dressed potato. Oddlaw aka Mr Willis won the best dressed staff member!
