Pupils from Waltham-on-the-Wolds CE Primary School make magical musical memories at Nottingham Albert Hall
Thu 07 Jul 2022Year 4 pupils from Waltham-on-the-Wolds CE Primary School became part of a 350-strong choir when they joined their peers for Rise Multi Academy Trust’s (Rise MAT’s) first Pupil Choral Concert held at Nottingham’s Albert Hall.
The event, which brought together pupils from each of Rise MAT’s 19 schools, forms part of the Trust’s commitment to providing a Pupil Charter for every child – offering opportunities and experiences that enrich pupils’ learning throughout their time at primary school.
In a celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, pupils were accompanied by a live band when they sang a host of songs that marked the decades of the Queen’s reign, as well as songs from the musicals in recognition of her fondness for the genre.
Julie Hopkins, Executive Headteacher of the Trust's Vale of Belvoir schools and project lead for the occasion, said: “All of the children sang so beautifully and confidently; their impeccable behaviour and passion shone through. It brought tears to our eyes when they dedicated ‘The Wind Beneath my Wings’ to their parents and teachers – it was one of those magical moments that everyone in attendance will remember.”
One parent attending the concert, added: “We wanted to say thank you for such an amazing evening. The children were absolutely incredible! My daughter loves singing and it was a phenomenal experience for her to be a part of.”
Pupils at each school practised the songs with their teachers and also benefited from a singing workshop which was run by Leicestershire Music’s choral lead, Nicki Atkins, who organised the arrangements of all the songs in preparation for the prestigious event. The children then came together to sing for the first time only a couple of hours before they performed.
Mark Cole, CEO of Rise Multi Academy Trust, said: “In total we welcomed almost 800 people to our Choral Concert, a gathering of pupils, parents, carers and staff members from across our Rise MAT family.
“It was a powerful example of how, as a Trust family, we can work together to achieve many amazing things, creating memories that will last a lifetime for our pupils.”

Wednesday from 10 am until 4pm it's Community Café - freshly brewed coffee, tea and yummy cake - Little Gems our parent/carer and baby/toddler group also meets then 10-1130 - and a chance to look at the Community Bunting made by the school, the Scout Group, pre-school, Waltham Hall, Little Gems, and people living in the village - it looks amazing - there will also be some Jubilee memorabilia displays from village groups and some special Jubilee flower displays in the church windows.
You can also visit the church Thursday, Friday or Saturday 11am-4pm to see the displays and refreshments will be available.
Sunday 5th June is Pentecost Sunday - the birthday of the Christian Church - so we will be holding a special Jubilee/Pentecost Café Church 3pm- we will be having tea/coffee/cake & sausage rolls and singing some hymns accompanied by the organ, with crafts and a special Jubilee Quiz.
As a lasting tribute to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee we have constructed and planted a Jubilee garden in the churchyard which will be officially opened by the Mayor of Melton at Sunday's Café church.
All the above is absolutely free of charge, but we would appreciate donations towards the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
We do hope that you can join us for any of the above.
Finally... if you are planning to come to Café Church on Sunday it would help us to plan catering if you could let us know you are coming. If you enjoy baking and would like to make some sausage rolls for Sunday please let us know.😊 Details in our Community section Our Church Community
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Y5/6 Tag Rugby Team Battle the Storm
Tue 05 Apr 2022On Friday 1st April we saw our Year 5 & 6 Tag Rugby team take to the pitch at Melton Mowbray Rugby Club to compete against other local schools.
Tag Rugby is a non-contact team game in which each player wears a belt that has two Velcro tags attached to it. Attacking players attempt to dodge, evade and pass a rugby ball while defenders attempt to prevent them scoring by “tagging”.
A terrific effort from Waltham with some fantastic athleticism and team work on show in the group stages before the hail storm came and abandoned play. A huge thank you to @Melton&Belvoir and @MeltonRugby for a truly spectacular event!
