Holy Trinity Music Festival
Last Friday evening, the sun shone down on Holy Trinity’s first music festival, HT in the Park. Much of the school’s musical talent was showcased throughout the evening in performances by the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 choirs, Rock Bandz, Orchestra and rounded off by a performance by Take SATs. Enormous thanks to Nina Barclay and Tesia Harrison for organising such a fantastic evening – and to the PTA who ran the bar.
