A teacher who has worked with pops stars like Leona Lewis, Sam Smith and Rita Ora has transformed a Manor Park school music department.
Olu Sodeinde’s love for music drew him to a professional performing career, working with numerous global celebrities, but his passion for teaching led him back to the classroom.
