Barnby Road Academy

‘Where everyone is able to achieve their best’

Musical Events and Achievements

March- All instrumental lessons will recommence when school reopens 8th March. Orchestra will begin rehearsing the second week back, Wednesday 17th March. Mrs Wyatt is excited to see you all again!

January 2021

Brass, woodwind and cello players- your instrumental teacher will have emailed your parents with details about Zoom lessons. Unfortunately violin lessons are not currently possible as Mrs Brunning is teaching in school full time.

December 2020- Although we have been unable to take part in the many Christmas musical events that we usually attend, due to Covid restrictions, we have still been keeping music alive at Barnby Road! The school orchestra performed outside to children, parents and carers arriving on the last two Wednesdays of term. The Chamber choir also performed outside on the last Thursday of term. We all took part in our virtual Christmas concert, please see the link below, which replaced our usual celebration concert at the ECC. The chamber choir also sang in the virtual Children's Bereavement Centre concert. All of our choirs also took part in the Newark Market Place virtual lights switch on which was broadcast on Newark FM and the market square Facebook page. Our Year 6's also wrote a song with Mr Barnett about Brussell Sprouts that the whole school took part in recording- so a busy musical term!

Senior Choir recording of 'Just Be You'

The Senior choir was proud to learn and record the song 'Just be you' recently for the Shaw Foundation. This song has a powerful message about positive thinking and looking after your mental health. Please enjoy listening to this version (above) that is just Barnby Road Academy.

There is also a joint version with other local choirs, money raised from downloading the joint track goes towards this local charity https://shawmindfoundation.org/

Christmas Lights 'Switch-on' November 24th
