Following a short service in the School Gallery, a wreath was laid by a small group of students at our war memorials. Then, with the Last Post (played by three of our music students) echoing around our school grounds for all to hear, we remembered. https://t.co/TDboS1ualq

Students and staff at HDS have been getting creative again with another remotely rehearsed and recorded lockdown music project. Spring is just around the corner so what better song to sing in the season than The Fab Four’s 1969 track ‘Here Comes the Sun’. It is another spectacular ensemble and it certainly put a smile on all of our faces. We hope you enjoy our rendition of this feel good track!
