Coventry Cathedral Choir
Do you love singing and music? Are you in Key Stage 2? If the answer is, ‘Yes’, then there is a fantastic opportunity for you to develop your talent and access an exceptional training and experience in music.
Coventry Cathedral Choir are recruiting boy and girl choristers from KS2 in primary schools across Coventry during September and October 2023. The choir is a free opportunity open to all children in the City and Diocese who love singing and show musical potential. The Cathedral Choristers attend schools all over the diocese, and continue to take leading roles within their own school choirs.
If your child is interested in singing in the choir, please let Mrs Watson know and we can contact the Director of Music to request a visit to school and support you with an application. We have had two children who have been members of the choir recently, and there is no doubt from their experience that this is a wonderful opportunity for keen musicians to develop their talent and enjoy performing in such an amazing and inspiring place as Coventry cathedral.

Dot Day art activities
We had a lot of fun across the school yesterday sharing the story, the dot by Peter Reynolds. This story is all about having a go and gaining the confidence to find out that you can be successful and creative. The story also shows how when we believe in ourselves, we can help others to develop too.
We enjoyed making our own dot designs today and look forward to seeing these forming a new display in the Key Stage 1 corridor.
