Our boys enjoyed a superb Bedfordshire Festival of Speech, Drama and Music, with 75 boys being awarded top three places over the course of the festival!  

Flik Feng (Fifth Form) and Silas Sanders (Lower Sixth) were also invited to perform at the Gala Concert on Saturday 10 March, and we are delighted to announce that Flik was awarded the Hans Freyhan Salver Prize for Piano on the night.

Our congratulations go to everyone who took part – it takes great courage to stand up on stage and perform, and they all did splendidly.
