Over the past month, our Awards team dashed up and down the country to see some exciting Platinum Award presentations: from singing concerts and assemblies (Gladstone Road Infant School, Scarborough and Gonerby Hill Foot, Grantham) to great Sing Up parties with karaoke (Almondsbury Primary, Bristol).
Platinum Awards are presented to schools with exceptional singing achievements and who assist singing development within other schools in their community.
Congratulations to all of our new Platinum schools! There are a currently 39 in total.
These schools will be receiving theirs over the next month:
St John Fisher and St Thomas More, Manchester
“Singing is a very important part in the success the school has achieved academically, socially and spiritually.”
Maurice Walsh, Sing Up North West Area Leader.
Westlea Primary School, Swindon
