Objectives: The Voyager School is a brand new secondary school in Peterborough with specialist media arts status. It serves a community with a growing number of Eastern European families and poor literacy levels. The school is harnessing the power of singing to boost pupils' skills, confidence and motivation. It is also one of the pilot schools in a project between learning charity ContinYou and the national SingUp programme, which aims to link singing into extended schools activities.
What was done: The school has a 60-strong choir and two opportunities to take part in choir singing after school. Sixth formers have been working with three primary schools and the younger children took part in a performance at the secondary. The school is embarking on a range of projects with ContinYou that will involve the eight primary schools, one special school and two children's centres in its cluster area.
