We will be joining thousands of students from across Durham participating in a music event this week.
Lots of our students will be performing in a special assembly, showcasing their talents from singing to drumming and playing ukuleles!
This ties in with Article 31 from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - Every child has the right to have rest and leisure, to engage in play activities and to participate in cultural life and the arts.
