Quotes
I had the pleasure of coming in to watch The Emerald Crown this morning, as well as volunteering on the Tropical World trip last week. On both occasions, I was truly blown away by how amazing both the children and the staff are.
Lydgate is a truly special school, and I’m so grateful to have had all three of my children attend. Thank you for allowing parents the opportunity to get a glimpse of such a wonderful environment.

It’s wonderful that musical opportunities are offered to all of the children, not just those who have the means or inclination to learn an instrument. We are very aware of the staff’s extra time and effort to provide this inclusive and supportive musical environment, and we are really grateful for it.
