Many congratulations to our boys on their superb performances and wins at this year’s Bedfordshire Festival of Music, Speech and Drama.
This year the boys’ performances brought home an impressive 73 top three places! Special congratulations must go to Brooklyn Fu, Jonathan Hosking and Silas Sanders, who were all selected for the final Gala Concert, and, in particular, Logan Jones who won the award for the best overall Speech and Drama performance of the Festival.
