On Friday we took Music Scholars, Music GCSE BTEC and A Level students, as well as members of our newly formed Student Leadership Team to the Dugdale Centre to watch a talk called “Dropping Knowledge”.

Award winning DJ and producer, DJ Mark Anthony took us through the history of black music as part of our ongoing celebrations for Black History Month. We learnt about and listened to an array of inspiring black musicians and explored their significance in music history.

The students were fantastic and we even had a couple of them get up to demonstrate their best Michael Jackson “Thriller” dance. We very much look forward to Part 2 of the talk.
