The prestigious Purcell School for Young Musicians is the oldest specialist music school for children in the United Kingdom.

In 1962, Rosemary Rapaport and Irene Forster founded the school at Conway Hall in central London under the name of The Central Tutorial School for Young Musicians. It later moved to Morley College and eventually to Bushey where it is situated today. In 1973 the name was changed to The Purcell School after the English composer Henry Purcell.

The school, whose honorary president is Sir Simon Rattle and whose patrons include Prince Charles, has an international reputation and students come here from across the world. Many of them subsequently study at the Royal College of Music or the Royal Academy of Music and later frequently distinguish themselves in all types of music as instrumental performers, singers, conductors and composers.

Sibford School have very kindly lent us their wonderful hall for the evening and the students are very generously giving their time to help contribute to the costs of renovating the clock on Holy Trinity Church. Do come to hear them.

You will enjoy a really happy time provided by the Purcell students with a variety of musical instruments, and also help to ensure that the Church Clock will provide you with the correct time for the next 100 years!
