Alumnus and renowned pianist Dorian Ford performed his 50th anniversary Cologne Opera House concert in the Hall for All this Sunday. Reimagined, it was a tribute to his 1975 masterpiece and was a special evening with many former students and teachers in attendance. @burghleyhall

We did it! We went above target and raised over £35,000 for the Hall for All following the Brutal Climb and the @BigGive #ChristmasChallenge. Thank you to everyone who donated and a big well done to the students who took part in the #BrutalClimb!

Students visited a number of #Brutalist and #Modernist locations such as the Whittington Estate, Highpoint, and West Hill Court on today's #BrutalClimb. Sponsor them to help restore the Hall for All:

Following our recent application to @HeritageFundUK, join us in a pause, and watch Allan Sylvester's beautiful film; A Hall in Waiting which shows our hall quietly waiting for the next chapter in its story.

We're very excited to see a film centred on #Brutalism and its place in post-war society winning @BAFTA awards! Well done to all who worked on @thebrutalistmov. We have been working hard to restore our own #Brutalist gem. See our campaign here: https://t.co/zkEYd5iMI6

We were happy to take part in the recent @openhouselondon festival for the 8th year running! This year we were also lucky enough to have a tour led by Geraint Franklin, author of Howell, Killick, Partridge and Amis (the famous Architecture firm which designed our school & hall)!

We're excited about taking part in @openhouselondon this Saturday and to have architectural historian @GeraintFranklin lead the first drop in tour at 10.30! See our listing here: https://t.co/rceCiAoNpt

Last month, year 7 visited Wellesley Road
@Shawhealthcare Care Home again after residents had been to the Lion King matinee at school in the Hall for All. Students played board games, did jigsaws and quizzes. Kevin played the piano and there was even some dancing!

A brilliant Brutal Debate today as students in years 7, 8 and the new year 10 debated Brutalism's place in the contemporary London landscape (undeterred by the football game outside), ahead of the sponsored Brutal Walk on Monday in aid of a Hall for All: https://t.co/i5McrJcZfo
