  • Young Voices in Caddington

    Thu 14 Mar 2024

    On Tuesday 12th March, our 'Young Voices' travelled into Caddington to sing for members of the community at a popular coffee morning.  Recently, residents of Caddington, fundraised for our school so that we could purchase board games for our children to play with during their playtime.  Our Young Voices (the name we give to our choir) sang three songs for the residents: 'Like a Roman', 'Make Your Own kind of music,' and 'Something inside so strong.'  The songs were well received and the audience even asked for an encore.  

     

    The 'Young Voices' have been asked to return to Caddington in the coming months and they can't wait!
