Barnhill Winter Concert
A huge thank you to Mr Taylor and Mr C Jones for orchestrating another incredible evening filled with festive cheer. The show was a true celebration of the diverse musical talent within our school community, featuring heartfelt performances that touched our hearts and uplifting moments that had us clapping along.
A special mention to our brilliant comperes, who had us giggling between acts and kept the evening running smoothly. We were also treated to a beautiful original song, written and performed by the incredibly talented Mya, which had the room in pin-drop silence.
The evening was a wonderful reminder of how talented and dedicated the staff and students in our school community are. Well done to everyone involved – we are very proud!

As this was Mr C Jones’ last concert at Barnhill, before taking up his new role as Head of Music at a school closer to home, Mr Taylor, our own Head of music had this to say:
'His passion for music and teaching has not only enriched the lives of his students but has also strengthened the sense of community within the school. His impact will be felt for years to come, both in departments and in the wider Barnhill family.
We wish Mr Jones every success in the future as the Head of Music at his new school, and thank him for his remarkable contributions to Barnhill's musical legacy.
He will be missed by staff and students alike.'
