National Recognition for Music Scholars
Evie Coplan and Tom Highnam have this week accepted places in The National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain. Evie, playing cello in the orchestra for the second year running, and Tom, who is in his third year playing tuned percussion, are both music scholars at Clayesmore Prep.
To add to his many musical accolades, Tom has once again been awarded the prestigious Leverhulme Scholarship for an outstanding performance at audition. This is the first time that such an award has been made to a percussionist.
Clayesmore Prep also prepares many of its talented singers for audition and congratulations go to both Lauren Morgan and Niamh Coombes for being the school’s first two pupils to gain a place in the Girls’ Choir (Southern region) of the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain. This will require them to attend two week-long courses during the year, both of which culminate in a concert.
