Grimsdell Pre Prep gets North London singing!<br />
Now in its fourth year, the North London Singing School Festival, hosted by Grimsdell Mill Hill<br />
Pre-preparatory School, took place in March. Three local schools, The Phoenix, Golders Hill<br />
and Aldenham took part, singing songs together and performing in their respective choirs.<br />
The event was organised by Sing Up – an organisation dedicated to providing excellent singing<br />
provision for schools. The idea is to showcase the power of singing and leave us all inspired.<br />
Grimsdell’s singing has gone from strength to strength, culminating in being praised as<br />
‘excellent’ in singing and music by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Grimsdell’s Toffee Bear<br />
Choir has performed at Barnet Music Festival, at the Royal Festival Hall, Birmingham Symphony<br />
Hall and on Classic FM to name a few!<br />
The infant singing festival was a further step to spread singing, and they’re proud to now call<br />
it an annual event. “All the children have a fantastic time,” says Chao Cox, Head of Music at<br />
Grimsdell. “It’s wonderful that we share our singing experience with other schools and bring our<br />
community together.”<br />
Grimsdell Mill Hill Prep School is part of the Mill Hill School Foundation educating children from 3-18.<br />
