Last Thursday saw the annual Young Musician of the Year Competition take place in the Music Department. In total, over one hundred individual performances took place throughout the day overseen by Mr Bradbury. The winner of each individual heat then went on to perform in the final.

After much deliberation our guest adjudicators agreed that the winners of the Junior and Senior sections should be Isabel Wright (Year 9) and Charmaine Tse (Year 13).

Well done to everyone who took part over the whole day…you did your house proud!
