The Lower School House Music Festival 2025 took place on the final morning before half-term and was an absolute triumph of singing talent! Heigham, Magdalen and Conisford choose a trio of ABBA hits and all gave incredible performances in a Lower School Hall filled with an atmosphere of excitement and support. Heigham gave us their version of ‘Money, Money, Money', Conisford sung 'Waterloo' and Magdalen performed 'Mamma Mia'. Head of Singing from the Senior School, Mrs Walton, was on hand to adjudicate and was incredibly impressed with the standard of singing, stage presence, diction, intonation, and enthusiasm from each House. The singing truly raised the roof! It was a close competition with only a few marks in between each place, with the winners announced as Heigham house. Huge congratulations to Heigham and well done to everyone for taking part, and a special ‘bravo’ to the three House Captains for their excellent work in leading and directing their Houses so well.
