STUDENTS from Uphill Village Academy have visited a national event called Young Voices, which has brought children from all corners of the country to sing.
The Young Voices choir gives primary school children a chance to dabble in all styles of music, including folk, pop, rock and classical.
Teachers and pupils practise song and dance routines to perform in either London, Sheffield, Birmingham, or Manchester.
Uphill Village Academy pupils took part in Birmingham, alongside 6,500 children from across the country. This year, the children performed alongside Heather Small, violinist Anna Phoebe, the Beatbox Collective and dance group Urban Strides.
Samantha Hodder, principal of Uphill Village Academy, said: “The children absolutely love attending and are always inspired by the acts they perform alongside. It is a fabulous opportunity to celebrate the importance of the arts and it is so lovely to witness the impact events like this have on the children.”
