The Ashcombe School Spring Concert on 1st April is always a herald of longer evenings and warmer days.  This year's had an amazingly varied line up, showcasing the range, depth and musicality of talent in the school. From the Ashcombe Rock Band, to the Little Big Band with their Duke Ellington medley, The Ashcombe Brass Ensemble, Year 11 Band and Junior and Senior Orchestras, instrumental work lead the way.  Interwoven with Community Choir, Male Voice Choir, Senior Singers, and a glorious Massed Choir, the concert was a glorious lead into the Easter break.

 Year 13 Biology - Our Upper Sixth biologists have been working on Cloning and have been nurturing their cauliflower samples in recent weeks.

• Tissue culture is a process in which very small pieces of plants (‘tissue’) are grown (‘cultured’) using nutrient media

• Because they are initially grown in petri dishes on nutrient agar we say they are grown ‘in vitro’ – outside a living organism

• Clones are genetically identical individuals
