KS2 Singing Club Shines at the 804th Mayor Making Ceremony

On Wednesday 20th May 2026, a group of talented children from our KS2 Singing Club had the honour of performing at the 804th Mayor Making Ceremony of the City of Southampton, held at the prestigious Southampton Guildhall.

The children represented our school with pride and enthusiasm, singing their hearts out in front of distinguished guests, councillors and members of the local community. Their beautiful performances of The Climb, Sing, Shallow and Mountain captivated the audience and helped make this historic civic occasion even more special.

Taking part in such an important event was a wonderful opportunity for our children to showcase their musical talents while experiencing an important part of Southampton's civic traditions. Throughout the ceremony, the children demonstrated exemplary behaviour, professionalism and commitment, making everyone at school incredibly proud.

The choir's performances received glowing praise from those who attended the ceremony. Councillor Amanda Barnes-Andrews, Cabinet Member for Children, said:

"A HUGE thank you again for your fantastic performances at the Mayor Making ceremony. I was SO impressed with the sound the choir made and the children were an absolute credit to you during a long ceremony!"

Another attendee shared:

"Thank you very much for your lovely performances at SCC Mayor Making Ceremony last week. You couldn't see us as we were sitting on the stage behind you but we all enjoyed it very much. Keep singing!"

Lisa from Southampton City Council also praised the children, saying:

"I just wanted to say thank you for organising the Choirs for Mayor Making. I have spoken to lots of people who attended the ceremony and all have said how fantastic the Choirs were and I agree. I think this was the best we've had for some years, and I know that we didn't give you much notice so to organise what you did was just brilliant. I hope the children enjoyed the occasion and thanks again."

We are incredibly proud of every child who took part. Their hard work, dedication and confidence shone through in every song and they were outstanding ambassadors for our school.

A huge thank you also goes to the families who supported the children in preparing for this special event. We look forward to many more opportunities for our talented singers to share their voices with the community.

Well done, KS2 Singing Club!
