Byron Wood have reason to sing – they have just been awarded a national award, the Sing Up Gold Award.
Last year the school was awarded its Sing Up silver awards. The Sing Up adjudicator commented on the school’s commitment to singing:
“Wow! What a strong application you have submitted for the Gold Sing Up Award and there is no doubt whatsoever that you really deserve to be called a Singing School. Singing seems to be everywhere and part of everything at Byron Wood Primary School! It was good to see so many teachers and staff who are happy to lead and join in with singing in school. I feel that you have so much to share with other schools and would urge you to consider applying for the Sing Up Platinum Award.”
This summer terms sees the school’s choir performing at Sheffield Children’s Festival, in a massed Sheffield Choir and visiting choir from Cuba. And at the end of term, the Year 5s and 6s will be putting on a production of Hagbane’s Doom.
