“The solution lies with giving a young person a trumpet. The solution lies with giving a young person a saxophone. When you do that you give them a dream, an aspiration and a goal.”
We couldn’t agree more! Congratulations on your @BRITs win @EzraCollective 🎺
“This moment right here is because of the great youth clubs, the great teachers and the great schools that support young people playing music…”
Ezra Collective: @BRITs Group of the year
Thank you for all your support.

Exempting military families from VAT on private school fees highlights just how unfair this tax truly is. Why should any working family be penalised for investing in their children's education? If it's wrong for one group, it's wrong for everyone.
EXCL - Military families will be exempt from VAT on private school fees
They are expected to get extra cash to cover the tax hike

There's been a fair bit of discussion about music A-level entries today, so I won't rush into analysing stats, but what bothers me again this year is that a far greater % of students get A*/A/B grades in maths than they do in music. I never got a satisfactory answer to this 1/2

It's impossible to view the postings of Farage, without utter revulsion.
He masquerades as a " reasoned commentator" on what he claims to be a national crisis linked to immigrants while claiming he deplores any lawlessness. Then he hints at more lawlessness if his warnings are not heeded.
The reality is that his entire political future is dependent on fomenting confrontation and division. It is by creating a climate of crisis that he has got where he has.
And some of my former Conservative colleagues have argued the Conservatives should be linking up with Reform! Perhaps this shameful episode will open their eyes to his malevolence.

What a way to top off an incredible academic year for the arts at Wellington College! The cast of ‘Master of the House’ performed brilliantly and did us all proud.
Not only that, we were absolutely delighted that Matthew L won Best Actor for his role as Valjean in Les Misérables!

A masterful talk with Stephane Crayton @Kings_College to our A level students today. From baroque violins to Berio, we were truly inspired. Now for a new composition project with isorhythms. #musiceducation

Congrats to the phenomenal cast and crew of Les Misérables on delivering an absolutely unforgettable performance this week! We can confidently speak for everyone who was fortunate enough to see the show in saying that the performances were on par with any West End production.

You've made it!
The first half of the Lent term has been truly incredible, epitomised by arguably the best production in the school's history this week.
While you take a breather during the half-term break, remember to celebrate your achievements, big and small. You deserve it!

Bravo to the whole @WellingtonUK cast of Les Mis. The performance tonight was a different level, quite simply outstanding. @Welly_Master you must be incredibly proud. #westendmagic

Fab opening night of Les Mis @WellingtonUK @Welly_Music tonight. Thrilled to have been let loose coaching the leads a few weeks ago, and to have been a small cog in this mighty production. Heaps of praise for @SeanFarrell67 for conducting this masterpiece of theatre. Bravo all!👏

Musicians from the English National Opera orchestra leafleted audiences outside the Coliseum this week!
They're campaigning to #SaveENO as a full-time company with the orchestra in full-time jobs and on full-time pay #WeAreENO ✊

Powerful stuff here from @AllyDaubney pointing to the widening gap between independent and state school music provision. Levelling up? Anyway, mustn’t give way to doom and gloom.

Student compositions coming to life c/o the wonderful Ossian Ensemble. No better experience for young composers than to get feedback from such experienced professionals! #musiceducation
