After wowing their audience last night in the piano recital at school, musical students at Gordon’s then took part in a Masterclass today at the revered Steinway Hall, London hosted by Steinway Artists in London. A wonderful experience, as well as being great fun!
Places available on a Sea Kayak Expedition to Lofoten, Norway next August. Please see Mr Fox as soon as possible.

If there was any doubt that your school days are the best of your life, then Gordon’s School’s new Maths teacher Charlotte Winckley is proof.
For Miss Winckley a student here eight years ago, enjoyed it so much that she has come back as a teacher!
“I loved school” she enthused. “Gordon’s is somewhere I always felt happy and confident.”
Cyclists Lachlan Bethune; Lewis Broderick; Graham Davidson and Joshua Deakin focussed their training this week on road races, travelling to Gravesend Cyclopark in Kent with the Charlotteville Cycle Club. With the emphasis on co-operation and working together as a team, the foursome cycled more than 25 miles in their three hour session.
