A wave of excitement and musical promise has swept through our reception classes, thanks to an incredibly generous donation from local resident, Mrs. Margaret Nathan. Mrs. Nathan, a long-time supporter of education, and loyal member of the Thames Opera Company, has gifted a beautiful family heirloom piano to our reception area, hoping to inspire a lifelong love of music in our youngest pupils.

The elegant instrument, which has been cherished by generations of Mrs. Nathan’s family, now sits proudly in the reception space, already captivating the attention of curious little minds. "Music has always been a central part of my family's life, and this piano holds many treasured memories," shared Mrs. Nathan. "I believe every child deserves the chance to experience the joy of making music, and I truly hope this piano will be the first step on a wonderful musical journey for many of them."

Her thoughtful donation provides an invaluable opportunity for our reception children to engage with a real instrument from an early age. It's a chance for them to explore sounds, develop an ear for melody, and perhaps even discover a hidden talent.

We extend our sincere thanks to Mrs. Nathan for her remarkable generosity and for bringing such a special piece of her family's history into our school. We'd also like to express our gratitude to Move U Removals for kindly transporting the piano to our 

school, ensuring it arrived safely and ready to inspire. This wonderful gift is sure to spark creativity and a passion for music in our children for years to come.
