• "We Are all Stars" Educate Award Super Choir 2018

  Wed 07 Nov 2018 Miss Richardson

  LOCAL SCHOOLS ARE ALL STARS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED SINGLE

   

  Schools from across the region have come together to sing and record a
  charity single in aid of Children in Need.
  
  The team behind the Educate Awards partnered with Formby High School's
  senior assistant headteacher, Steve Cook and music technology teacher,
  Gary Heatherington, to write a song to help raise money for
  disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.
  
  Titled 'We Are All Stars', the song shines the spotlight on young people
  and celebrates their talents and learning gained through the world of
  education.
  
  Schools were notified about the exciting opportunity and were encouraged
  to write in for a chance to take part.
  
  After an intensive teacher training session and a month of top secret
  rehearsals, students from primary and secondary schools in the Liverpool
  city region, Chester and Lancashire recorded the single at Parr Street
  Studios.
  
  Cameras also captured the once in a lifetime opportunity so that a music
  video detailing the process could accompany the track.
  
  Schools that took part included; Bedford Primary School, Bickerstaffe
  Primary School, Brownedge St Mary's Catholic High School, Freshfield
  Primary School, Formby High School, Queens Park Primary School, Redgate
  Primary School, Riverside Primary School, Saughall All Saints Primary
  School, Trinity St Peter's Primary School, Valewood Primary School,
  Waterloo Primary School and Whitefield Primary School.
  
  The recording also features the voices of talented teachers from
  participating school and members of the G:Force Gospel Choir.
  
  Kim O'Brien, founder of the Educate Awards, said:  "There is an
  incredible amount of talent within primary and secondary schools today
  and what better way to showcase this than with a song dedicated to
  Children in Need.
  
  "Everyone involved worked so hard to make this unique song come to life
  and we're thrilled with how it has turned out - it has really put a
  spotlight on education in the North West.
  
  "We're looking forward to playing the music video at the Educate Awards
  ceremony on Friday 16 November which is also when Children in Need takes
  place."
  
  The song is available to download on iTunes and Spotify. All proceeds
  will be donated to Children in Need.
  
  The Educate Awards, in partnership with Copyrite Systems and Ricoh, is
  now in its seventh year and is the largest education awards in the North
  West, taking place at Liverpool Cathedral.
  
  Since launching in Liverpool in 2012, the awards has grown rapidly, now
  recognising schools and colleges right across the Liverpool City Region,
  Cheshire, Lancashire and Greater Manchester.
  
  From inspiring teachers, superb support staff to innovative projects
  across the curriculum, the awards identifies the work of schools and
  colleges which are delivering outstanding education and helping students
  achieve their full potential.
