Trust News

On Tuesday 12th March musicians from across the Trust came together for the Scholars’ Education Trust Concert at Grove Theatre in Dunstable. The concert organised, this year by Priory Academy, brought together all the current schools in the trust: Buntingford First School, Sir John Lawes School, Samuel Ryder Academy, Robert Barclay Academy, Harpenden Academy, Priory Academy and The Hemel Hempstead School, and in true collaborative spirit they performed an exciting and eclectic mix of music.  From a shared samba band, Guardians of the Galaxy medley, the concert was an exhilarating showcase of the depth and breadth of musical talent within the trust.  

For some students, including Buntingford First School, it was the first time they had ever performed on a stage, and for the primary students (who were lucky enough to watch the whole concert from the front row seats), it was an inspirational glimpse of opportunities to come. All students in the trust demonstrated great talent and professionalism, as well as embodying the all-important ACE.

We are incredibly proud of them all! The SET Staff Choir were in strong voice too, proving that inter-trust student/staff musical collaboration is very much at the heart of the trust’s musical success. 

Congratulations and sincere gratitude to all the students and staff who participated in what proved to be a splendid event for everyone involved!
