On Tuesday 3rd June the best of Sussex schools’ new music gathered to perform at the Pavilion Theatre S’koolFest 2025. The theatre was buzzing with energy as the bands lit up the stage, including our very own talented Durrington musicians.
Year 8 students Finn McKeown, Jamie Ward, Sophie Hopkins and Marcus Dixon rocked the stage with their performance of Locked Out of Heaven.
Louie Smith in year 11, Alfie Day in year 9, Harry Ward in year 10, Jamie Ward in year 8 and Jacob Grant in year 11 gave an impressive performance of Message in A Bottle.
Year 11 student Joseph Waterer, alongside ex-Durrington student and previous Head Girl Grace Bridger, performed together with their superb duet singing Take Me to Church.
