Pupils from S4-S6 are invited to perform in the four major performing arts: music, dance, drama and prose. 1995 shotgun death On 18 September 1995, fourteen-year-old Malcolm Williams, who was a fourth year pupil at the school, was killed by a ballistic wound from his father's (Dr Frank Williams) shotgun while at home. The gun and ammunition should have been locked away, according to legislation. There are no known witnesses to the claimed incident and his brother, Peter, was allegedly the first person to find him in the house. Despite the family's insistence that this was just a 'stupid, tragic accident', it remains unclear why Malcolm would point the loaded weapon at himself. The family further insisted that they do not think he was suicidal at the time. A bench with a commemorative plaque was erected in the school grounds.
