They are a brialliant group of young people some of whom attended our school and even started to learn their instruments right here at the school.

Whiddon Autumn Festival
We were blessed to be able to host a workshop in prepar\tion for this Septemeber's Whiddon Autumn Festival.
I think I have never seen the hall so full or heqard it sounding so joyful as pupils from Moretonhampstead and North tawton joined our Year Fours and Fives to sing together.
A lovely team of young musicians led by local legend, and the Festival's Artistic Director, Freddie Crowley, worked hard to create material with the children which they will be invited to perform as part of a concert  at the church of St Michael the Archangel on Thursday 24th September at 6:00 p.m.
Huge thanks to the Whiddon Autumn Festival team who worked their socks off and produced the most magnificant sounds from the children - it was glorious to see the children from the schools coming together and to hear them rasie their voices together.
​The Festival Website is here.

"The great joy of this festival is its youthful exuberance, enthusiasm and vitality. Forget the stuffy, strait-laced image which sadly plagues so much serious music-making, the Whiddon Autumn Festival works hard to pulverize the stigma of classical music as elitist."
