Headteacher Sam Drake praised the evening, saying: "Our 'International Evening' is a wonderful opportunity for our students, families and staff to come together and celebrate what makes us unique, while also finding the common threads that unite us as a school community."

Amongst the many highlights were two standout songs, one in Hebrew and another in Arabic and French, both celebrating peace.

"It was a powerful and poignant moment that reminded us of our shared hopes for harmony," commented Mr Drake.

In addition to the student performances, the school's staff took to the stage to perform a lively rendition of the classic song Where Did You Get That Hat?, a playful nod to the diverse cultural influences that make up the vibrant city of London.
