Southwark Update September 2022

7th September 2022

“Dear Parents and Carers

Starting Back

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Here are the dates for the Autumn Term:

11, 25 September
2, 9, 16 October
6, 13, 20, 27 November
4, 11 December
Concert: 18 December

Please come at the same time as you did last term until half-term, when we will be reorganizing the choirs.

Thames Festival 2022

The children who sang in the Jubilee Pageant performance will be singing again at the Thames Festival on Sunday 18 September, with some additional pupils. I will be notifying their families individually about the final arrangements for this.

Joyce DiDonato Eden Project

An additional perk to having been involved in that memorable concert at the Barbican last term is that are going to have two visits from top professional harpist and workshop leader Xenia Horne. The first of these workshops will be on Saturday 24 September. I will let you know the final timings shortly.

Interviews

Schools are about to be notified via email and the application process will be mainly online, although we will still accept paper applications in special circumstances. A flier is also being prepared and I will be asking you to help me distribute these. Looking forward to seeing you all next Sunday, 11 September.

Kind regards

Richard”
