Nicholls Lecture Series

During the Michaelmas Term, our Sixth Form students eagerly welcomed...

We are really proud to present our annual Christmas Concert on the 10th of December and can't wait to see you there! If you haven't purchased tickets already, you can find the link in our story.

But hurry, spaces are limited! 

❄️❄️

Come and get festive with us! Experience the talent our students have to offer and the joy of live musical performance, all wrapped up in our annual Christmas Concert.
🌊 Thank you to our audiences who attended the charity performances of our most recent productions. Over two performances we raised £346.32 for the RNLI. 

Your generosity will allow the RNLI to continue keeping our seas and shores safe and we help to purchase the essential equipment to continue operating.
