Emma Jordon, front, with staff and pupils trying ou the new grand piano
THE sound of a top-of-the-range grand piano rang out at Cheney School’s Summer Concert.
The concert, at the school in Cheney Lane, Oxford, saw the premiere of the school’s new £9,000 Wendl & Lung grand piano – bought after a four-year fundraising campaign.
The campaign started when former headteacher Alan Lane donated a substantial sum as a leaving gift to the school four years ago.
Head of music Emma Jordon said it was planned for the school to host lunchtime recitals, performed by A-Level students, starting in September.
