Arts Faculty Shine

Summer Showcase & Music Tour

The summer term of 2017 was one to remember for the Arts Faculty.

The music department collaborated in a performance project with St. Francis School Year 5 students. They visited every week for one half term and performed at the summer showcase matinee in front of an audience of other primary school children.

Arts Faculty Summer Showcase proved to be very popular with students, teachers and parents alike. It was a real representation of the talented and hard-working students that aspire to achieve in the arts and everyone involved should be very proud of themselves.

The collaboration with KNBS music department is still going strong and in July we took 80 students to Paris on a whistle-stop four-day concert tour. The weather was beautiful the entire time and as the majority of our concerts were outdoors this was fantastic. We played in a beautiful picturesque park in the centre of Paris and also on the youth arts Disney Stage in Euro Disney.

Of course the students and staff took full advantage of exploring the park afterwards! Thank you again to all involved especially to those staff who took time away from their busy schedule to organise it, and of course to the parents for supporting the trip.

We are planning another fantastic music tour for 2018 and information will be available shortly.
