St Benedict’s Director of Music Chris Eastwood said: "This is a great testament to their talent and hard work over a number of years. I am sure they will have a wonderful time as part of a world-renowned institution."

Mark said: “It was really great to hear that I’d got in! I’m looking forward to the residential courses.”

St Benedict’s has a strong choral tradition and pupils aged 7-18 sing in the school’s many choirs, including the chamber and concert choirs, jazz, opera and barber shop choirs
