PIANO students at the Tip Toe Stage School, South Ockendon recently took and passed their London College of Music examinations with flying colours.

Pictured are the students at their second annual recital, held at South Ockendon Village Hall.

All students passed their exams with the highest possible mark of distinction.

Two thirds of the examinees gained 90 per cent and over, with 12-year-old Owen Mabbott gaining 99 per cent.

The school offers classes in all styles of stage dance, drama and singing and expanded to include piano a few years ago, with great outcomes.
