To thank and support our NHS and frontline workers involved in the fight against COVID-19, 19 pupils and two former pupils, from King Edward’s School and King Edward VI High School for Girls, performed a wonderful musical tribute of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
The pupils used the initiative and arrangements from the Services for Education Music Service.
A former King Edward’s School pupil, who performed in the ensemble, edited the video compilation.
Overall, the trip showed our teamwork as a group flourish, and each of us began to notice our individual strengths.
Huge congratulations to Barnaby Lenon CBE, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Tes Schools Awards!
What was astonishing was the pros did the whole thing for five minutes in each, doing 5X what we did. All in all, the trip was interesting and insightful, and on behalf of everyone that went, I want to thank Mr Macdonald, Mr Caviezel-Cox and Mr Lloyd for organising it.
One of the boys said it reminded him of the Indiana Jones films.
