Huge congratulations to Annie (Year 7) and Sienna (Year 9) for their incredible achievements at this year’s Mrs Sunderland Festival.

Annie had an exceptional festival, winning her Classical Singing Class for both Years 6 and 7. This success led her into the prestigious Winners Challenge, where she competed against winners from other age categories and won that too. She also achieved second place in both her Musical Theatre and Unaccompanied Folk Song classes. To top it all off, Annie was invited to perform at the final day concert at Huddersfield Town Hall, an honour reserved for the festival’s most promising performers.

Sienna also enjoyed fantastic success, placing second in the Young Voices Duet (Year 13 and under). In the Pop Ballad category (age 14–17), a large class of 27 entrants in which she was one of the youngest, she achieved second place, just one mark off first. She also placed third in the Magic of Walt Disney (Year 9) class and second in Musical Theatre (Year 9).

We are incredibly proud of both students for their dedication, talent and confidence on stage. What a brilliant celebration of performing arts success at Crossley Heath!
