Good morning from Buckingham Palace! What a glorious sunny morning to spend at an iconic landmark. And the music for the changing of the guard was sensational.

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

What a day! Some very tired pupils, but my gosh we’ve had a fabulous time. Next stop is a very welcome journey to bed!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

And now our final stop of the day! Time to defy gravity.

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

Such a beautiful area of London; so historic, whilst nestled in an area with so much modernity. The Tower of London really does show us London from such a wide ranging span of history. And what incredible poppy displays!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

What a wonderful quotation about the Tower Armouries collection!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

And on to the Tower of London! What an incredible experience!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

Day two of the Performing Arts London trip and we’re already exploring all things natural and historic in the Natural History Museum! What an incredible place!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

What a fantastic afternoon in the city! We’ve been down Regent Street to Hamleys and enjoyed some shopping on a gloriously sunny Oxford Street. Now back to the hotel for some sleep!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

And we’re here! London trip has arrived!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

We are enormously proud of our pupils this evening. What a performance! Each and everyone involved was absolutely fantastic. Bring on the next one!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

It’s Music Showcase time tonight! 6pm in Hall 1.

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

What a fabulous evening! Twenty different musical acts auditioned to take part in our Music Showcase 2024, with everything from drum solos, to Handel, to acoustic guitars and original song writing. What an event this is already shaping up to be!

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

This year we want as much enthusiasm from our students again - if you have a piece of music that you want to share, the AOM Music Showcase might just be the pedestal you need to put that performance upon! Auditions Thursday, in the Drama Studio.

[AoM Performing Arts @AoMPerArts]

Last year’s Music Showcase had 54 amazing students performing in groups or in solo performances. It was a festival of different styles, forms and celebrated what we love about Music.

Coming soon!

@toujours_inspir They are just about hanging in there! Definitely in need of an early night, tonight, but they’ve all been fantastic this whole weekend. A real credit to the school and to their parents.

And we’re on the road. Our London trip is on its way home to the leafy suburbs of Sale. Good bye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester Square. What a weekend! #aomlondon2024
