Year 9 pupils take centre stage at Music Showcase

21 May 2026

Year 9 pupils enjoy a broad Music curriculum, with weekly lessons designed to build core skills, encourage creativity and foster a lifelong love of music. Last Wednesday’s Music showcase gave every pupil a chance to perform on stage with their peers and demonstrate their talents, interests and progress. 

From the opening DJ set to piano, rapping, and solo performances, the evening ended with a competition between each of the five Year 9 Music classes, performing a unison piece and getting the audience to vote for their favourite act. The winners were Friday’s period seven class who performed Jess Glynn’s Hold My Hand, most recognised as the theme music for the popular Jet2holidays TV advert.

The sunglasses, bright beach-ready outfits, and fantastic choreography clearly lifted the audience’s spirits. Congratulations to all of Year 9 — it was a joyful evening enjoyed by everyone.
