Posted on: 17/01/2019School of Rock TripLast week some of our vocal students enjoyed a free trip to see School of Rock in the West End! The students who attended participated in an extensive rehearsal and performance opportunity last summer around Islington celebrating the life and legacy of Richard Cloudesley. They performed alongside an adult choir and were accompanied by a professional Baroque orchestra. Their vocal parts were incredibly challenging and this trip served as a huge thanks for their hard work and commitment to the project. Well done girls!
Posted on: 14/01/2019Holocaust Memorial DayAs Holocaust Memorial Day approaches, KS4 Humanities students and students from KS3 who worked on the Anne Frank Project were very privileged to hear the story of a survivor of the Holocaust, Lady Zahava Kohn. Lady Kohn (now in her eighties) with her daughter, Hephzibah, spoke at length about her experiences in Westerbork and Bergen Belsen concentration camps during World War Two. Her talk brought about lots of thought-provoking questions from our students and she was extremely impressed by these. Holocaust Memorial Day is on Sunday 27 January.
