CHOIR

Welcome to our Choir page

We’ve got two splendid choirs up and running this year and we’re looking forward to some exciting concerts and events.  All documents and resources are available through the link below.  And don’t forget to check out our videos too.  Our media statement is right at the bottom.  Please check back regularly for updates.

Upper School Choir - YEAR 5&6

We’re looking forward to our annual trip to the Palace Theatre on Wednesday 12th June 2024. We’ll be performing three songs alongside other Redditch schools at a concert calledGotta Sing.  The cost is £1.80 per child – see ParentPayIt’s important that the children spend time learning the songs.  

Audience tickets for parents and families will be available after April 9th – check back here for the link. Make sure you book for the Wednesday and not the TuesdayThe children performing in the choir will obviously not need a ticket. The audience tickets do not allow for babes-in-arms so please make other arrangements for infantsWe’ll need a couple of parent helpers to accompany us so please let me know if you’re DBS and available.  Helpers will see the show but not need a ticket.   Children need to learn the following songs:

Young Voices Choir - YEAR 3&4

Young Voices was Friday 26th January 2024 – See the video in the resources folder!

Joining Choir - Statement

Upon joining choir for the first time, we ask for a specific media consent.  We take online safety very seriously; no child will be named in our videos and links will be posted on the choir page.  As a school we can’t guarantee how this material will be used once it is in the public domain.  If you have any questions or concerns about this issue please do ask.

We intend to have lots of fun with choir but do regard it as a serious commitment so please do reinforce this with your children.  Our choir members are often seen performing in public places and are always excellent ambassadors for the school.  Remember, the first port of call for information is always the choir page on the school website.

From May 2022, when ticking the permission box on ParentPay or authorising ‘external video’ in the Scholarpack permissions, you are agreeing to the following statement: My child would like to join the school choir and I am happy for video footage and photographs to be taken at concerts and events.  I am also happy for photos and video featuring my child to appear online, such as on YouTube, and also in local newspapers.  I will inform school if this situation changes.

If your child wants to join choir, but you are unable to give this media consent for whatever reason, please do come and talk to me and we may be able to make a separate provision.

Mr George
