A group of children sing together

This March, come and join us and a great number of teachers from across the city as we teach you all the songs for the very exciting Summer Sing performances for KS1 and KS2 in May and June.

On Thursday 27 and Friday 28 June 2024, we’ll be opening our doors for around 1200 KS2 children to come and perform in front of a huge audience in Beacon Hall.  With a full live band on-stage, this event will be a hugely memorable one for your children. This is the kind of event that you remember when you’re a grown-up and reminisce about how brilliant and exciting it was.

Additionally, on Thursday 9 May 2024, we will be inviting KS1 children for a morning or afternoon performance in our beautiful Lantern Hall.

We will give priority booking for these events to schools attending this CPD.

  • Renewed confidence to prepare your young singers for these very exciting summer events
