National Lacrosse Championships 2025

Success at the National Lacrosse Championships We were thrilled to...

The Summer Concert in Bushell Hall was an uplifting way to bring the school year to a close, with students from across the School coming together to share their musical talents. The evening showcased the dedication, creativity, and joy that music brings to school life and was a highlight of our Birkonian Week celebrations. 

A special moment of the evening was the farewell to Mr Robinson, Director of Music, who received a standing ovation from students and staff alike – a testament to the legacy that he leaves.

Our thanks and congratulations go to every student who performed, and to everyone in the Music department – including our team of peripatetic teachers – for their work in nurturing a love of music in our students throughout the year.
