• Rugby Rotary Music Bursary

  Fri 31 Jan 2025

  Harris Church of England Academy were thrilled to accept a donation from The Rugby Rotary Music Bursary on Thursday last week.  Mr Mike Folly, Chairman of the Rugby Rotary Club presented a portable keyboard to enable a student, who receives keyboard lessons from the school, so that he is able to practise at home.    

   

  The student, currently in year 9, has already demonstrated strong musical aptitude and was very grateful for the gift that will “make practising between lessons much easier”.  The school expressed their sincere appreciation for the support that the Rotary Club have demonstrated for music at the school and hope to continue to develop relations with the Club and with other music departments across schools and local organisations
