Long gone are the days when students learnt languages for languages' sake. Things have changed. We need to make lang. learning easier. Not by dumbing it down; rather, by hacking today's adolescents' cognition and affect. By arousing their interest and facilitating retention.

Tomorrow is the day we begin our Les Miserables journey! Year 7 & 8, it’s your turn to audition. Meet in Balch Hall at 3:10 and be prepared to stay till 4:30. We will go through everything you need. #onedaymore

We loved every minute! Thank you for letting us be a part of it ☺️

We are off!! All our cases are packed and instruments loaded! Liverpool here we come. Massive thank you to all the parents for their help with our equipment moving.

We have arrived in Liverpool and the pupils are off exploring and getting ready to go up the St John Beacon.

Pupils enjoying the British Music Experience! What a great space to look at and explore.

We’ve just left the British Music Experience! What a place to visit, the pupils loved it. Heading back to the hotel to check in and enjoy our first evening.

Beatles Story all done! Very highly recommended. We are in our hotel now preparing for our talent show and rumours of a Mr Wheeler quiz before food and a relaxing evening!!

Instruments loaded, uniforms on and we are heading to our first concert venue!
