On Wednesday 19th June, we held our annual Key Stage 3 Music Festival, an exciting opportunity for our musicians in Years 7-9 to come together and display their impressive musical talent, whilst our guest adjudicator listened and enjoyed.

We were thrilled to welcome Ms Warrington, a music teacher for the Foundation who was our adjudicator for the evening. 

Thank you to all our students who performed: 

Yasmin – Don’t Look Back In Anger, Oasis

Olivia – Movement de Valse, Louise Farenc

Alana – Danny Boy, Weatherly

Adrina – Scherzo, Daniel Van Goens

Kate – Chansonne Boheme, Bizet

Catherine – Moon River, H Mancini

Annie – Tequila Sunrise, Pam Wedgewood

Zeba – When I Was Your Man, Bruno Mars

Riya – Home, Lisa Kessler

Daisy – Gigue, Augusta Holmes

Mia – Sicilienne, Faure

Azariah – Black Sheep of the Family, Norton

They all played brilliantly, and we would like to thank all our students for performing with such confidence and skill. Thank you to Mrs Mathieson who was our accompanist for the evening. 

Congratulations to Year 7 student Adrina, whose cello performance was chosen by Ms Warrington as her favourite – Adrina was awarded the KS3 Musician of the Year trophy and earned 50 House points for Mackie! 

All the evening’s performers were awarded 10 house points for their brilliant playing and participation, which only adds to the suspense and excitement for the House Finale on the final week of term – these last minute House points can make all the difference!
