Brutal Festival: Brutal Walk - 550 students and teachers
2024-07-22
We are culminating the school year with a Brutal Festival, which will include the Brutal Walk on Monday 22 July many students, staff and volunteers will embark on a sponsored journey through London’s iconic Brutalist landmarks for the Hall for All appeal.
The lead up to the big walk will include many educational activities in school including architecture sessions and workshop run by the Museum of Brutalist Architecture (MoBA), as well as a Brutal Debate during which students will be engrossed in discussions on whether Brutalism is beautiful or ugly!
The Brutal Walk will be organised as follows:

Y7 will walk from the school to the Southbank Centre (via Russell Square and SOAS)
Y8 will walk from the school to the Barbican
Y9 will walk from the school to the National Theatre (via the Brunswick Centre)
Inclusive walk for those unable to undertake the larger walks will be to the Whittington Estate

The Barbican, Southbank Centre and National Theatre have also kindly offered to host a range of architecture-themed activities and mini-tours for the arriving students. Students will return to school on the tube.
This fundraising initiative will include over 550 students from Y7, Y8 and Y9 and comes hot on the heels of the 50k raised from the last event! If you would like to be involved please use the contact form.

We proudly invite you to an evening with XVI Studios to enjoy a night of spoken word, rap and
short film showcase. The purpose of the event is to support a network of new young creatives
who on the evening will talk about the importance of collaboration, provide insight into how to
access funding streams and key networking advice.
We are very excited to announce the launch of our new partnership with Hustle UK, a collection
of freelance creatives providing workshops for young people, to align with our commitment to
Media, Broadcast and Production T Level starting in September.
There will be a Q and A session on the night following on from three integral themes of the
evening:

How Hustle UK creative can support young people’s need to raise funds and
collaboration
How to draw upon resilience and perseverance
XVI’s story: Where we came from where we are now

There is no doubt that the evening will be both inspirational and purposeful for all those that

Live at the Hex #4
2024-05-10 19:00 - 22:00 | Acland Burghley, 93 Burghley Road, London, NW5 1UJ, United Kingdom
Tunes by Purcell, uplifting choro swing from Brazil and funky jazz licks… it’s time to mix it like only Live at The Hex can.
Live at the Hex returns for another evening where classical music rubs shoulders with other equally stylish music. Matthew Truscott will lead a Purcell-inspired set with fellow musicians from the OAE. They will be joined by Alvorada – the UK’s leading performers of choro, a rich and uplifting style of instrumental music from Rio de Janeiro, with the irresistible swing of samba and maxixe from the south to baião from the north-east with an immediacy and vibrancy that delights audiences everywhere – and jazz fusion band Lick the Moon returning by popular demand.
Produced by our Dreamchasing Young Producers here at our home in Tufnell Park (and pretty much opposite the tube station) you can enjoy six sets of music with a well-stocked bar and an on site pizza van.
Check out the highlight reel from Live at The Hex #3 for an idea of what to expect.
£2 (Under 19s) – Pay-what-you-choose from £5 for adults
