Lower School Singing Competition 2023
Friday 26 May 2023
21 pupils from Years 7 to 9 took part in the final of this year’s Lower School Singing Competition, held in the Ernest Read Hall on Thursday 25 May.
The finalists performed in a diverse range of styles and genres, from musical theatre classics to French pop, and from indie ballads to Russian operetta.
Our adjudicator, West End star Kim Leeson Davis, was extremely impressed by the standard of singing, and had the difficult task of awarding prizes, as follows:
| CommendedOOO | Issy N (Year 9) |
| CommendedOOO | Adrienne S (Year 9) |
| Highly CommendedOOO | Rachel F (Year 7) |
| Highly CommendedOOO | Meredith R (Year 9) |
| WinnerOOO | Calypso M (Year 9) |
We would like to congratulate to everyone who took part in the competition – as Kim remarked, everyone who performed on stage was a winner in their own right. Thank you to Mr Newport for his supremely versatile and sensitive piano accompaniment, and to Kim for her wise adjudication.
