Music with City of London Sinfonia

Students at Lavender Walk began an exciting project with musicians from the City of London Sinfonia. They worked with Gawain to create compositions using field recordings of a marsh in Suffolk along with Matt on viola and playing instruments in the classroom. We took inspiration from the book Diary of a Naturalist by Dara McAnulty, the memoir of an autistic teenage boy and his passion for nature.

Welcome from our Principal, Janette Steel

The sun is shining, showing up my rain and mud-streaked windows - surely there has been time for a spring clean? Thank goodness the relentless rain causing parks to be sodden has lifted.
