An Arlesey teacher has been bringing the community together through lockdown by recording a song uniting neighbouring schools.
Emily Hardy, head of music at Etonbury Academy, has written the ‘BEST Song’, which pupils have been learning during live remote lessons this term.
The project sees Year 5 and 6 pupils at join forces in a virtual choir with children from Gothic Mede Academy, also in Arlesey, and Robert Bloomfield Academy in Shefford.
All three are part of the Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) – with the song title reflecting the multi-academy trust’s acronym.
