Mayfield Sing and Sign Choir Shine at the SEND Sharing Event

After months of practice and preparation, the Mayfield Sing and Sign Choir recently had the exciting opportunity to perform at the annual SEND Sharing Event, alongside six other schools. Our choir has been working hard all year, rehearsing a variety of songs to showcase our progress.

One of the highlights of our performance was our favourite song, ‘Cotton Eye Joe’, where we couldn’t help but get into the spirit of the music and enjoy a good ol’ yee-haw! The lively performance was a real crowd-pleaser, and it was fantastic to see our students so confident and excited as they performed.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to More Music and Holly Grove School for hosting such a wonderful event and for making us feel so welcome. The event was a fantastic opportunity for our students to connect with peers from other schools, celebrate their talents, and build new friendships.
