Young Voices 2025
Welcome to Young Voices 2025.
On the 6th February we had the pleasure of accompanying our choir to the Co-op Arena in Manchester. After months of preparation, the children were ready to join with the world’s largest children’s choir for a magical evening's entertainment.
Upon arrival and after a long queue, found our way into the arena and took our seats ready for the afternoon rehearsal to start.
Over the course of the afternoon the children rehearsed singing with over 7000 other children. During this time, the children were introduced to the different celebrities that would be singing with them. This included MC Grammar, Tommy Blaize and Souparnika Nair. They also got to meet the founder of Urban Strides, Andy, and his dance crew. This was a highlight for many as Andy had been helping them prepare for the concert via the online resources in school.
Midway through the rehearsal we had the honour of being part of the Young Voices Markey Magic, a world wide live stream to celebrate what would have been Bob Marley’s 80th birthday, the choir at the Co-op Arena joined more than 30,000 children world wide to sing a Bob Marley medley.
Following the rehearsal, they were concert ready and raring to go! After no time at all the doors to the Co-op Arena opened and families started pouring in to their seats ready to be immersed in a world of wonder for the evening. We had no problem spotting our parents in the crowd with our matching flashing glow-sticks and we all had much fun waving and cheering out to them all.
At 7pm arrived, the lights dimmed and the show began – and what a show it was!
We could not be prouder of our children for having worked so hard to learn the songs, for representing the school in the most wonderful way and for taking part in an experience that they will carry with them forever.
We are now already on the countdown for Young Voices 2026! We can’t wait to visit again and make for memories to last a lifetime.
