An Inspiring Afternoon at Glyndebourne Opera House.

At the end of last term, a group of our Year 11 Music and Drama students enjoyed an unforgettable visit to the spectacular Glyndebourne Opera House to watch Rossini’s The Barber of Seville.

The performance was full of energy, humour and outstanding musical talent. Students were particularly amazed by the imaginative staging, including the incredible flying pianos, while the orchestra brought the score to life with a vibrant and captivating performance.

Experiencing world-class live opera in such a renowned venue was a fantastic opportunity for our students, helping to deepen their appreciation of the performing arts and showcasing the magic of live music and theatre.

A truly memorable afternoon and an experience our students will not forget! 🎶🎭

Some of our Year 7 Student Council Representatives were delighted to deliver the generous donations collected by our families to support the Burgess Hill Pantry.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference to members of our local community. We are incredibly proud of our students for helping to support such a worthwhile cause and for demonstrating our school values in action.👏

A fantastic performance from our Year 9 football team, who secured a superb 4-0 victory over St Paul's!

The team were outstanding from start to finish, with goals from Charlie, Zachary, Ralph and Joey. St Paul's were awarded a penalty, but Rupert produced an excellent save to keep a clean sheet!

🏆 Player of the Match: Ralph

A huge congratulations to the entire squad on a brilliant team performance. We look forward to seeing what this talented group can achieve next! ⚽️
