2017's musical theatre showcase was the classic musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber: Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The boys and girls of Years 7-9 did an amazing job - enjoy the pictures!

Friday 26th May was the last day of normal school ever for our Year 13s, marked with a mass in St Anne's Church, following by refreshments in the Sixth Form, in which we celebrated the the journey students have made over their time here.
