We were thrilled to start this week at London Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall celebrating with our students as they enjoyed their graduation ceremony. A beautiful sunny day provided the perfect backdrop for students as their families and friends honoured their achievements.

Below are some pictures from the day which we hope you will enjoy.
