Head of Music Amber Southern said: The night was planned and put into place by our Year 13 BTEC students as part of a unit for their course. It was a huge success, with students from all year’s groups performing famous tunes from the 80s. With a full to capacity audience and many fellow peers and parents in fancy dress themselves, it was a fun evening to remember with all credit to the students that planned it.
