Recorder Festival 2024
Twenty-eight children took to the stage at The Victoria Hall in Hanley on 5th March for their annual Recorder Festival alongside nearly 700 children from schools across the city!
The day was filled with lots of singing and playing and they were all fantastic ambassadors for the school. Well done!
Lichfield Cathedral Music Share Event
Thirty seven children sang at Lichfield Cathedral on Wednesday 15th November. The day started with a tour of the cathedral, led by the very kind and patient Phillip, then we had a rehearsal alongside the other schools. After that we ate our packed lunches and attended the Evensong service where Harley and Jacob read their prayers beautifully in front of the congregation.
The concert was a roaring success, and the children enjoyed two comedic operatic performances and they sang their hearts out.
Thank you to the parents and carers for their ongoing support, and thank you to the staff who attended the event to support our children.
