Showcasing the achievements of your school through the achievements of your pupils

Organising school events that are open to members of the local community not only creates a sense of community cohesion but also provides the opportunity to showcase the achievements of the school through the achievements of your pupils.

However, an increasing number of schools are also finding great benefit in attending events away from the local area to showcase the school’s achievements to a much broader audience and thus raise the profile of the school at a national level.

One of the largest events to offer schools this opportunity is Voice in a Million where children from all schools across the UK are invited to sing in a choir of thousands at the SSE Arena Wembley.

Better still, entry to the event is free – the only costs are for the rehearsal materials and the t-shirts worn by all participants in the event.

It’s an experience that colleagues, pupils and parents will remember forever. To add to its attraction the event supports a stupendously important cause as Voice in a Million is dedicated to raising awareness for adoption and fostering around the world.

There are no auditions and no requirement for your pupils to have a particular singing talent or ability although, if you wish, you can put forward your more talented singers to attend auditions for the opportunity to perform as a soloist.

Voice in a Million provides everything you need for rehearsal, including backing tracks and lyrics, and a workshop can be held in your school during which the repertoire is run through with your choir.
