All in Singing
This is an annual event where we invite choirs from local schools to attend. The morning is spent harmonising and rehearsing various pieces. In the afternoon the children come together and perform to a wider audience of pupils and staff. Some numbers are pre-rehearsed by the individual choirs at their own schools and others are collaborations across the schools that are learnt on the day.
Aims
Our Director of Music has developed an extension programme for local state schools to enhance their teaching and learning in several areas.
Background
This was established as part of our Alleyn's 400th Celebrations and will continue on an annual basis.
Resources
A wide range of Alleyn's School facilities are used for the workshops to enhance the experience for the children. Alleyn's Junior School staff lead and organise all the workshops that are offered.
Impact
This is an extension programme aimed at enhancing the current teaching and learning at the children's own schools.
Pupil Involvement
Both genders and pupils from Year 3 - Year 6 are involved.
Frequency
