SingFest is our annual festival that brings together schools from across Merton for a celebration of singing. It’s a wonderful opportunity for young people to showcase their vocal talents, and share their love of music with their classmates and other schools. SingFest isn’t about competition, but rather a chance for children and young people to connect with one another and share in the joy of singing. The atmosphere is always uplifting, with pupils cheering each other on as they take to the stage.

Here are some photos of the first morning of SingFest 23, featuring choirs from Cranmer, Hatfeild, St Mary’s and Bishop Gilpin.

In total, 18 schools from across the borough are taking part in this year’s festival.
