On Sunday I played tennis with Miss Robson. At the start it was a bit more challenging because I had not played since during the Christmas Holidays but once I got the rhythm it was excellent. I love playing tennis! by Elena Ferreres
Our visiting Dutch students had great fun making mozzarella and tomato tarts with our year 7-12s.
Ackworth School is proud to announce that it is now a member of the All-Steinway Group of Schools.
The School has taken delivery of 10 new Steinway pianos recently, making it only the 15th school in the UK to be admitted to this prestigious group.
To celebrate this occasion, there was an original ten-piano composition featuring current and past students, written by the School’s Director of Music, Daniel Marks, himself an accomplished pianist. This performance took place in the Ackworth School Meeting House.
The innovation has been made possible by the support of Old Scholars of the School and will ensure the very highest level of music tuition is available to its students.
.
Director of Music at Ackworth, Dan Marks said:
“I am delighted at the acquisition of these wonderful Steinway pianos and I know they will be greatly appreciated by our students. These facilities will be enjoyed by members of the community including Ackworth Concert Society and Pontefract Music Festival for many years to come and will have a large positive impact on a whole generation of young musicians.”
Headmaster, Anton Maree added: “We sincerely thank our Old Scholars whose generosity enables Ackworth School to become a leading school for music in the north of England.”
We are getting extremely excited about the delivery of our new Steinway pianos tomorrow morning!
The launch of our new partnership with Steinway will be taking place tomorrow at 12:30pm.
There are only a handful of seats left in the Meeting House for this performance so please register your interest prior to the event to avoid disappointment on the day.
Ackworth School, voted number 10 amongst UK independent schools for sporting success!
