News, events and schools' information for families across Bristol

John Cabot Academy is celebrating the outstanding achievement of Year 10 student, Jonathan Cheung, who delivered a stunning performance in the prestigious Rotary Young Musician Greater Bristol Competition.

Jonathan wowed the audience and judges with his rendition of Partita No.3 in E Major (Gavotte en Rondeau) and Partita No.2 in D minor (Allemanda) on the violin, securing third place overall in a fiercely-competitive field.

The competition’s head judge commended Jonathan’s dedication and talent, stating, “We were delighted to have Jonathan among our contestants this year. It seems he had thought of reducing his programme, but in the end gave a very accomplished performance.

“Congratulations to the school for nurturing him and his talent.”

Charlotte Grierson, Team Leader of Performing Arts at John Cabot Academy, said, “Jonathan performed with poise and brilliant musicianship, and we are incredibly proud of his achievements to reach the final among students from a variety of schools and sixth form settings across Greater Bristol.

“We look forward to Jonathan competing in the esteemed Rotary Young Musician Competition again next year.”
