GCSE Results Day 2024 at Oasis Southbank was one to remember! Spectacular outcomes across the board! Headlines up on last year to 61% 5+ and 78% 4+ English and Maths, reflecting the phenomenal work from students and their teachers! We are so so proud! 💙

Yesterday was my final day @OasisSouthBank after two incredible years. I am ridiculously fortunate to have taught there, and to have been part of such an electrifying community that positively impacts students' lives EVERY day. They are heroes. #music

We are absolutely delighted to be able to share an OUTSTANDING judgement from our recent Ofsted visit! ✨ Thank you to our brilliant staff, students and families for making OASB the special place it is.💙 The full report can be found here: oasisacademysouthbank.org/uploaded/South…

Our Year 11s @OasisSouthBank were buzzing after GCSE Music yesterday! They've worked so hard whilst performing in countless school events over the last two years 👏. Huge thanks to @Gareth_Drums and @SheridanLloyd for their epic support of these outstanding young people #music

So disappointed #Merky #MerkyFC @stormzy cancelled our school football semi-final fixture vs Elms Academy without telling us. I thought this was meant to be a venue for the community? Our Year 7-8 Boys were devastated. We don't have a mini-bus and it took us an hour to get there.

Huge thanks to @XanderArmstrong for the shoutout on @ClassicFM earlier. Carols for the @cftrust starts at 11.30 - all welcome to sing/shake a tin! We’ll be just outside the Burlington Arcade. #music #carolsinging #christmas

I'll be carol singing TOMORROW on Piccadilly for the @cftrust - come and sing/shake a tin! #carols #London

@ErrollynWallen @OasisSouthBank @LPOrchestra @southbankcentre @HansZimmer Mighty River - one of our students actually played timpani in a performance of it as part of a London Schools Symphony Orchestra concert in April! Such a beautiful piece.

@AlexStobbs @OasisSouthBank @LPOrchestra @southbankcentre @HansZimmer ooh I wonder which Wallen?

Our students @OasisSouthBank cannot WAIT for the Brightsparks Concert with @LPOrchestra @southbankcentre this morning - Barry, Beethoven, Copland, Mozart, Howard Shore, @ErrollynWallen, and @hanszimmer. HUGE names. #film #classical #romantic #orchestra #music

“Music also brings joy in ways other parts of the curriculum don’t,” he said. “I wasn’t jumping for joy for a physics lesson.” 👏👏👏 theguardian.com/music/2023/jul…

🎵Great to see so many smiles @OasisSouthBank after the GCSE Music exam! Pupils are working phenomenally hard during this relentless heat 👏

We desperately need four players for a game @Eton_College this afternoon! 2.15 start, beautiful location - always an excellent game against Strawberry (an upper-sixth team). Message if you can play cc @ThunderersCC @AuthorsCC @CricketBuilds @PaddyStobbs @Gletara

@backtobachagain Grace Torrens is my great grandmother! Was also an accompanist for Clara Butt.

The rest of the box includes a range of songs and piano works, inc. music by well-knowns (Debussy, Grieg and Sibelius), lots by MacDowell, Coleridge-Taylor and Cyril Scott, and many female composers I hadn’t come across: Amy Woodford-Finden, Grace Torrens and Edith Fortescue

A 🧵 about a 📦 of old music: Since Boxing Day, I’ve been leafing through some music passed on by my grandpa 🤓 I knew it contained music by 2️⃣ composers from our family (my fourth cousins!), but in examining it, I’ve discovered a rich musical heritage, one I never knew I had:

@GreekGoddess369 @Telegraph @cftrust Thank you Esta!

One of the most important papers I've ever read on SEND. Beautifully written too. Strongly recommend.

Today @UK_Music and the cross-party APPG on Music are launching a new report on the impact of Brexit on touring musicians and crew.🧑‍🎤 “Let The Music Move – A New Deal for Touring” makes for depressing but important reading. A thread 🧵:

This thread. Just amazing.
