East Riding School Hits the High Notes

Cottingham, UK (December 7th, 2010) – Westfield Primary School Choir in Cottingham is celebrating after being selected as a semi-finalist, from hundreds of entries, in the BBC Songs of Praise School Choir of the Year 2011 competition.

The fifty children, with ages ranging from 8 to 11, conducted by their Musical Director Tracey Redhead, will compete in the junior section of the competition against five other choirs from across the United Kingdom.

The choir was selected after submitting a CD with a Hymn and an inspirational piece based on the Christian Faith, which was written by Tracey herself, entitled ‘Lord of all Creation’.

The semi-finals will be televised next March and a panel of judges will decide which three junior schools will make it to the final. The final will be televised next April.

Tracey Redhead stated, “This is an amazing achievement for the children. I was stunned when I got the call from the BBC, as it is extremely difficult to be selected. The children are very excited and this is a testament to all their hard work.”

“I am extremely proud of this achievement. Music is central to the life of our school and this will be a wonderful experience for everyone involved” said Sue Twaits, Head Teacher of Westfield Primary School.

The competition can be followed on the BBC Songs of Praise web site at www.bbc.co.uk/songsofpraise
