Pope Paul Catholic Primary School

We believe that we are all God's work of art. We strive to respect and care for each
other and to use our talents to do our best to build a better world. By doing this
we are learning in the light of Christ. Amen

Choir

The choir is open to children from Year 3 to Year 6 who enjoy singing and performing. It rehearses on a Thursday afternoon after school and is led by Mrs Heymoz.

“Clubs, for example, choir, provide pupils with opportunities to celebrate their
achievements. Pupils sing in assembly and visit other schools to watch performances.
Pope Paul Catholic Primary School is known locally as ‘the singing school’ because of their
strong performances.”
