St Alban's RC High School

The lower school production of Disney's timeless love story Beauty and the Beast runs from 29th - 31st May with tickets priced at £6 (£5 concessions) available from the school now, but you will need to hurry as they are sure to sell out very fast!

There aren't many young men who can count the duchess of Cambridge, Kate, among their admirers, but several St Alban's students have achieved that distinction through their success with Only Boys Aloud, who came third in the Britain's Got Talent grand final. Our songsters are Miles Harding (Yr 9) and David Jones (Yr 8), as well as some ex-pupils. Well done to all and the best of luck for the future.
If you want see Miles and David perform live, make sure you get your tickets for the school production of Beauty and the Beast which runs from 29th -31st of May.

Congratulations to ex-pupil Loren Balaam who released her debut EP on Amazon and iTunes last week. Loren is currently doing the rounds of the local music venues and is due to appear at the Rockfield festival in June.
