Summer Music Concert

Posted on: June 22nd 2026

Our recent summer music concert was a resounding success, bringing together students, staff, and families for a brilliant evening celebrating our young musicians' incredible talent. Despite the summer heat, the atmosphere was electric as our ensembles showcased the impressive fruits of their hard work this term.

The Jazz Band got the evening off to a lively start, delivering brilliant renditions of The Girl from Ipanema, Applause, and All About That Bass, which had the audience eagerly singing and clapping along. Taking listeners on a cinematic and high speed journey, the Concert Band thrilled the room with iconic arrangements including the themes from Back to the Future and Formula 1.

Our Show Choir captivated the room with vibrant performances of Oh Happy Day from Sister Act and It’s a Hard Knock Life from Annie, alongside beloved audience favourites from Paddington and Six.

To top off a truly wonderful evening, attendees were treated to showcase performances from the hugely talented winners and runners up of this year’s Musician of the Year competition, highlighting the extraordinary depth of musical skill within our school community.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, supported, and cheered on our performers to make the night such a memorable highlight of the term.

School Library

Students at our school are benefiting from a major addition to the library shelves this term, thanks to a generous £500 grant awarded by the Alton Lions Club. The donation has enabled the school to purchase a range of high quality non fiction books, expanding the resources available to students across all year groups. Packed with detailed illustrations, real world stories, and fascinating facts, the new titles cover subjects ranging from science and natural history to world events and technology. The arrival of the new collection coincides with the National Year of Reading 2026, a nationwide campaign led by the Department for Education and the National Literacy Trust. The national initiative encourages young people to "Go All In" on the topics they love through books. While fictional stories are a fundamental part of any school library, educators emphasise that non fiction plays a vital role in developing literacy, particularly for students who do not see themselves as traditional readers. Books built around facts, real life events, or practical mechanics often serve as an ideal entry point to help children build confidence and develop reading habits for pleasure. The new non fiction titles have already been catalogued and are now available for students to borrow during library hours. The school community extends its sincere gratitude to the members of the Alton Lions Club for their continued investment in local education and youth literacy. View Article
