Young Voices 2024
Mon 26 Feb 202423 Oakley pupils travelled up to Birmingham last Friday to join a choir of 5000 strong at Young Voices '24. We all had a fantastic time singing along to the songs we had learnt and also listening to singing star Natalie Williams, rapper MC Grammar and watching the inspiring young drummer Nandi Bushell. We all loved watching Urban Strides perform and were thrilled that Andy took the time to come up to talk to us during a rehearsal break.
All in all a great event which gives our young children the chance to perform in a huge arena space. I am sure they will remember it for a long time to come.

Motivational Presentation by Andy of Urban Strides
Fri 24 Nov 2023Our Key Stage 2 pupils enjoyed a visit from Andy from Urban Strides who talked about resilience and keys to success. He was so inspiring the staff are now considering new careers in street dance. The children learned about Andy’s journey and he taught them about ‘accepting the challenge’, ‘grabbing opportunities’, ‘practice makes progress’ and surrounding themselves with people who will support and encourage their dreams. Many who have been to Young Voices will know Andy from the dance moves we learn and for performing street dance live on stage as part of the performance. His passion is contagious so let’s hope it inspires our children to follow their dreams.
