Last science exam: done. Today’s highlight was everyone signing each other’s shirts, pure nostalgia, pure end‑of‑school magic. Spanish tomorrow, and then it’s the big finish: Graduation and Prom on Thursday. Can’t wait to celebrate with you all — see you then.

From the music to the movement to the magic on stage, our students lit it up and left the crowd buzzing. Here’s a little snippet of the creativity, courage, and pure talent that makes MADDfest unforgettable.

MADDfest was an absolute triumph; a completely sold‑out show bursting with creativity, talent and pure artistic joy. From start to finish, the energy was electric and the performances were unforgettable. A huge celebration of the arts and everyone who brings them to life. Well done to everyone involved!

The Art Gallery was absolutely packed with incredible, imaginative work; every corner buzzing with colour, creativity and conversation. A wonderful show that captured the energy of the community and set the tone for the night. What an incredible start to the evening!
