Story:Aksa Shahid & Robiann Brown

On 2nd April 2013 Robiann Brown and Aksa Shahid in Y6 at Byron Wood Primary School, went to Tudor Hall School in Oxfordshire, for they had won a place in the National Youth Choir of Great Britain.

They trained with an all girl choir, junior and senior and sang 6/7 hours daily, learning some songs from the ‘Monteverdi Vesper’ and from ‘Spring Carols’.

After five days of training, the girls performed at the Royal Albert Hall on 14 April 2013. Aksa said, “I have never had such an experience in my entire life!” Robiann said, “I have never been so proud of myself and I just want to say thank you to Mrs Stroud (Byron Wood’s Performing Arts Teacher) for helping me to come so far. She is the best and I will always remember her in my mind for the rest of my life”.

Aksa and Robiann are extremely proud of their achievements, as are all of the staff and children at Byron Wood, and they thank the people who have helped them succeed.
