GRANGE SCHOOL
Headlines Grange Unplugged
The Grange Factor Final 2015 Following on from their success in last year’s event, Moore Primary School were crowned champions in the 2015 Grange Factor Final for the second successive year. The record number of spectators in attendance and an outstanding performance before the event from our school choir contributed to the creation of a wonderful atmosphere for this year’s competition. Bursting with excitement the students from Astmoor, Gorsewood, Woodside and The Grange primary schools went head to head in a series of both physical and mental challenges, with many outstanding individual and team performances on show. At the end of a hard fought and gripping contest Moore were victorious and following a nail biting tie break round, Gorsewood Primary School finished as runners up. All of the contestants should be commended for their exemplary attitude and application throughout the evening.
An ensemble of talented students took to the stage for the first ever Grange Unplugged Introducing. The two nights provided the opportunity for some of our newest students to show off their musical talent- and what talent they have! The night showcased a variety of acts from soloists to groups, singers to drummers. For many of our year 7 students, this was their first opportunity to perform publicly since they joined the school in September and performing acoustically, without any microphones is a great accomplishment. Our year 9 GCSE students also had the opportunity to perform some of the songs they will be using for their GCSE assessment. They set a great example for the younger students, performing to the best of their ability and behaving perfectly back stage. The audience were given the opportunity to write down their comments throughout the performance. Here is what some of them had to say:
Thanks to all who attended and contributed to making the evening such a big success. The #TAG Team were at the event to record and report on the proceedings, so keep a look out for their updates.
