• Young Voices 25th Anniversary Concert

  Fri 29 Apr 2022

  Our FAB choir had a fantastic evening representing Fairford Academy Barnehurst at the Young Voices 25th Anniversary Concert at the O2 Arena. 

  The choir began their day with a coach trip to the O2 Arena where they ate their lunch and started getting excited about the evening events. Finally, they entered the huge arena, along with over 7000 other children from schools across the South East, and started a three hour long rehearsal which was so much fun!

  In the evening, they were joined in the arena by parents and gave them a show to remember. The choir were joined by Laura Wright, Beatbox Collective and Urban Strides who entertained them all. What an amazing opportunity for our school choir.

  All of the staff who accompanied the children commented that it was the best evening ever and were so proud of each and every member of the FAB School Choir.

  

• Youth Unity Workshop for Year 6 Pupils

  Fri 22 Apr 2022

  All Year 6 pupils at Fairford Academy Barnehurst attended a transition workshop with Youth Unity in which they participated in a session tackling issues that affect children, young people and the community that they live in. The programme was developed in response to national attention on the increase of violence, criminal exploitation and associated vulnerability of children. It focussed on wellbeing and keeping themselves safe which included; peer pressure, mixing with the wrong people, criminal activity, age responsibility and social media.

  The feedback from pupils, staff and James, the workshop facilitator was excellent.
