KS3 Sings Live!

Sings Live! is our FREE West Sussex secondary schools singing offer for mainstream and SEND secondary schools and sixth form colleges.

Sings Live! brings together multiple secondary schools across the county to create a massed choir conducted by a professional choral conductor for a ticketed evening concert at an iconic professional venue. Schools perform a selection of mass choir pieces as well as get the opportunity to perform their own choral item.

Sings Live! 24/25 was delivered in partnership with one of the UK’s finest and longest established choral organisations – The Sixteen – who led two October workshops in the north and south of the county to launch Sings Live.

This was followed by two concerts in February 2025 – Sings Live! South at Worthing Assembly Hall and Sings Live! North at Christ’s Hospital. We also led a Sings Live! workshop for 3 SEND schools at Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School.

Overall, we engaged with 743 students, 95 teachers, 18 schools and colleges, our West Sussex Music Youth Choir and 501 audience members.

Dates for Sings Live 25/26 and related CPD will be announced shortly

What people are saying

“It was wonderful seeing the students’ genuine enthusiasm on the stage, it was heartwarming. Looking forward to the next one!”

Emily Warner, Head of Music at the Forest School

“Our students will often not get the opportunity to be part of something like this, particularly with mainstream peers of the same age, or have the opportunity to perform in a venue like this evening, so giving them that experience, I’m sure will definitely stay with them forever.”

Kenny Park Lead teacher for the arts at Oak Grove College

“It’s such a great opportunity for our students to work with other schools and choir leaders, and have the opportunity to perform in a fantastic event with a large audience.”

Kellie Walden, Teacher of Music at Oscar Romero Catholic School

“Great community opportunity for students to work together as a year group and learn the skills required for successful performance”

Daniel Munt, Associate Assistant Principal at Ormiston Six Villages Academy

“I thought it was a superb event. Thoroughly enjoyable. I am always very glad to advocate the power of music in education – it is a real force for good for our young people.”

Lee Walker, Headteacher of Imberhorne School
