Lindley school heads up national Sing Up project

THEY were there to sing – and sing they did.

Some 350 children packed into a Huddersfield church for an extra special lesson.

They were taking part in Sing Up, a national project aimed at getting Britain’s children singing.

Yesterday’s event at Lindley Methodist Church was arranged by staff at Lindley Junior School, which has already achieved “platinum” status for its expertise in singing.

The school choir is renowned across the country, having won a string of awards, and there are also a boys choir and a starter choir at the school.

They were all there for yesterday’s singalong, along with excited youngsters from Lindley Infants School and from Moorlands Primary School.

Lindley Juniors music teacher Alison North, who coordinated the event, said: “It has been a wonderful day.

“We received a grant from Sing Up to stage this event and we would love to do more of them, inviting other schools from across Kirklees..
