"The pupils gained so much from the project, in terms of musical development but also in spiritual, social and cultural education. Watching the performance was an experience which clearly demonstrated what real education is about: enjoyment and achievement for all pupils! It was simply outstanding" - Andy Taylor, Headmaster, Cliffe Hill Community Primary.
