The Young Songwriter 2022 competition is now open for entries. Please encourage budding young songwriters (aged 8-18) at your school to enter their songs. Plus we’d love your creative & musical pupils who’ve never written a song, to write their 1st song.

Young Voices 2022!

I am so excited to start singing again, I couldn't wait any longer to share this year's Young Voices tracks!

Start practising at home and as soon as we can, we will get rehearsals up and running at school. Anyone can come along and join in with plenty of planned performances locally, however the Young Voices concert (January 2022) is only open to Years 5 and 6. 

If you would like to register your interest, please come and see me in school for more details.

Lets get back to singing!

On Tuesday 28th September from 5.30 to 6.30, come along to St George's Academy Sleaford to try singing with other young people from around Sleaford. Boys and girls welcome.

The choir will be run by the Head of Music at St George's, Cat Vernon in the brand new Music Department buildings.

Your first session is completely free: you can just come along and try it out. It would help us to know who is coming if you could send an email straight away to Heather.Benson@lincolnshire.gov.uk.
