Teacher Changes
From the Summer Term, Michael Wynne will be joining us to teach singing and piano. I am sure most of you are familiar with him by now, but if not, he is the new Malcolm (!) taking over as Director of Music at St. Luke’s Church. Michael will take over Shivani’s teaching as, due to her increasing work commitments in England, she is unable to return to the Academy.
Building Works
We would like to express our gratitude to all of you for your patience and understanding with the ongoing building works. We are on the final stretch, despite having encountered further set-backs. We should be able to move JLPA downstairs to their new home by half-term at the latest, giving us back full use of the other three floors.
