Gifted and Talented Music Concert
On Wednesday the 28 February, there was a Gifted and
Talented Concert at Norwood School involving the South Lambeth
Gifted and Talented Cluster which are: Bishop Thomas Grant, Dunraven
School, St Martin-in-the-Fields School, La Retraite School and The
Norwood School. It was a very enjoyable evening where students from
all the 5 schools demonstrated musical excellence throughout the
performances. There was a vocal 'Voi che sapete '- Mozart, an upper
school vocal Ensemble : 'you raise me up' and a 6th form Jazz group-
'Desafinado' which were performed by the Dunraven students. Our
thanks go to Ms Blackler and Ms Bleach for all their hard work in
making this concert such a success. Next year however, there will
be a slight change to the Gifted and Talented concert in that
students from our link with one of the schools in China will also be
coming over to perform at that concert.
