Congratulations to all our many participants in the recent Taunton Festival of the Arts, a regional music competition of prestigious acclaim. Each solo instrumental and ensemble performance category is judged by an external adjudicator, a professional performer in their field, and the pupils must perform not only in front of them, but an audience! It is a tremendous experience, instilling confidence and all-round life skills.


Well done to everybody who took part, especially to our winners, not least both our amazing TPS choirs who, for the third year running, have won 1st place in both Junior and Senior Choir Categories – a stunning achievement!
