At the beginning of March, Crosfields School proudly entered three choirs into the Choral Section of the Woodley Festival of Music and Arts. Our Year 2 Choir was thrilled to receive the Star Trophy for the best infant choir. Both the Crosfields Lower Junior Choir and Upper Junior Choir performed beautifully, earning second place in their respective classes.
Over three weekends in March, Crosfields pupils participated in 42 individual vocal and instrumental classes, achieving remarkable success with 8 gold medals, 10 silver medals, and 7 bronze medals. We are incredibly proud of all our pupils’ hard work and dedication, which led to several exceptional performances and trophies.

In addition to these achievements, Crosfields pupils entered 145 individual performances in the Speech and Drama section of the festival, earning 36 gold medals, 46 silver medals, and 37 bronze medals.
