Christmas Break… we close after lessons on Friday 22nd December 2023, reopening on Saturday 6th January 2024
This year in a nutshell… we'd like to say thank you to all of our students and families for their support throughout this year. It’s been a busy year of new classes, exam sessions and live music performances.
Our annual concert at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre in March was the best yet and our return to St Marys for a Summer Show in July was a great opportunity for soloists and small groups to experience a smaller venue with a more relaxed atmosphere. Just last week we were at the Christmas Tree Festival at St Mary’s Church and heard more fantastic performances from our students, some of whom have only just started their learning journey with us.
We also want to congratulate every student who has enjoyed exam success this year. We know how much hard work and dedication it takes to go through that process and we’re very proud of all of you. We hope you have enjoyed learning with us this year.
Charity Donations…. since November we have been collecting donations of gifts for adults, children and pets for Hearts and Hands of Stafford to supply to parents in Stafford. We have a box in our reception and can take donations until Monday 18th December. Our collection will then be delivered to the charity the following day. Thank you so much for all your kind donations so far.
