Rock Kidz

We were excited to welcome a visit from Rock Kidz UK, who delivered a fantastic music and wellbeing experience for our pupils

Rock Kidz UK visit schools and transform the school hall into a live concert venue for the day. During the visit, children will be involved in creating and performing a song based around important PSHE themes, while experiencing the excitement and atmosphere of a real concert.

This experience gives children the opportunity to:
• Experience live music performance
• Express their thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment
• Take part in creating and performing music
• Engage with important wellbeing and PSHE themes.

We all dressed up as RockStars for the day, everyone enjoyed the day children and staff!
