Our Prep and Upper boys are celebrating after achieving a remarkable 85 top three places in this year’s Bedfordshire Festival of Speech, Drama and Music.
We are also delighted to say that Charlie Eggleton, William Roberts, Dylan Swain and Jonathan Hosking performed at the Gala Concert on the final night of the festival. To be selected from the thousands of entrants who took part in the festival is a great achievement and honour. Our congratulations go to them and every boy, whether a prize winner or not, who took part in the festival – it takes great courage to stand on the stage and perform, and every boy was a credit to the school. However, special congratulations must go to Jonathan Hosking who walked away with the very top prize at the festival. You can read about his remarkable success here.
