It was an amazing weekend at the Tunbridge Wells Arts Festival! We are beyond proud of every single one of our talented children who participated, showing off their hard work, passion, and dedication in the spotlight. This year, we had over 30 entrants in a variety of categories, from musical theatre, prose reading and verse speaking, to woodwind, piano, strings and brass. Their performances were full of confidence, and it’s clear that the future of performing arts is in incredibly capable hands! A special 'well done' to all the award winners and every participant for putting in so much effort and demonstrating such heart. You’ve all inspired us and made us so proud! ![](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/images/news/InstaIMG_8042.jpg) ![](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/images/news/InstaIMG_8039.jpg) | **Year** | **Pupil** | **Catergory** | **Award** | |---|---|---|---| | | Sacred Heart Strings Group | Elementary Strings Ensemble | Commended | | | Butterfly Trio | Piano Trio | Commended | | Y1 | Billy | Prose Reading | 1st Place Honours | | | | Verse Speaking | Commended | | | | | | | Y2 | Amadea | Verse Speaking | Honours | | | Eddie | Verse Speaking | Commended | | | Meg | Mini Musician Y2 and Under | Honours | | | | Strings Grade 1 | Commended | | | | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | Commended | | | Miller | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | Commended | | | Helen | Mini Musician (Class 066) | 1st Place Honours | | | | Mini Musician (Class 125) | Honours | | | | Mini Musician (Class 046) | Honours | | | Nansi | Verse Speaking | Commended | | | | | | | Y3 | Blaise | Elementary Family Ensemble | 2nd Place Honours | | | | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | Commended | | | Kamila | Woodwind & Brass Beginners | 1st Place Honours | | | | Piano Duet with Tessa (Y3) | 1st Place Honours | | | | Piano Duet with teacher | Commended | | | Lorenzo | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | Progressing | | | Poppy | Musical Theatre | Merit | | | | Dramatic Duo with Poppy (Y6) | Commended | | | | Prose Reading | Honours | | | | Verse Speaking | Honours | | | Tessa | Piano Beginners | 1st Place Commended | | | | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | 1st Place Honours | | | | Piano Duet | 1st Place Honours | | | | | | | Y4 | Alex | Elementary Strings Duet with teacher | Participated | | | Alice | Piano Initial Grade | Honours | | | | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | Commended | | | Emilia | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | 1st Place Honours | | | | Piano Duet with Penelope | Commended | | | | Elementary Woodwind & Brass Duet | 2nd Place Honours | | | Emily | Elementary Woodwind & Brass Duet | 2nd Place Honours | | | | Woodwind & Brass Beginners | Honours | | | Eva | Woodwind & Brass Grade 1 | Honours | | | | Sacred Heart Piano & Flute Trio | 2nd Place Honours | | | | Woodwind & Brass Own Choice | 1st Place Commended | | | Jemima | Woodwind & Brass Own Choice | 1st Place Commended | | | | Woodwind & Brass Grade 1 | Commended | | | | Elementary Woodwind & Brass Duet | Commended | | | | Verse Speaking | Commended | | | | Musical Theatre Merit Vocal Solo | Commended | | | Millie | Piano Grade 1 | Commended | | | | Elementary Family Ensemble with Meg | Commended | | | Sienna | Sacred Heart Piano & Flute Trio | 2nd Place Honours | | | | Piano Initial Grade | Honours | | | | Novice Piano Duet with teacher | Commended | | | Tabitha | Verse Speaking | Honours | | | | Prose Reading | Honours | | | | Elementary Strings Duet with teacher | Participated | | | Penelope | Musical Theatre | 1st Place Honours | | | | Verse Speaking | Honours | | | | Piano Initial Grade | 3rd Place Honours | | | | Piano Duet with teacher | 3rd Place Honours | | | | Piano Duet with Emilia | Commended | | | | Dramatic Solo | Honours | | | Sophie-Ann | Elementary Family Ensemble | 1st Place Honours | | | | Strings Grade 2-3 | 1st Place Honours | | | | Junior Recital | 1st Place Honours | | | | Piano Grade 2 | Commended | | | | | | | Y5 | Annemieke | Piano Duet (Grade 1) with teacher | Honours | | | Matty | Dramatic Solo | 1st Place Honours | | | | Mixed Ensemble | 1st Place Honours | | | | Piano Duet (Grade 2-3) with teacher | Honours | | | Octavia | Verse Speaking | 1st Place Honours | | | | Poetry Composition | Commended | | | | Prose Reading | Honours | | | Rowland | Prose Reading | Commended | | | | | | | Y6 | Felicity | Piano Duet or Trio | 2nd Place Honours | -
