We are delighted to have commissioned music hub composer Jo Downs to have written a leavers songs for us this year which we hope will be useful to everyone not just this term but in future years too. This is a pop ballad about friendship and emotional resilience and positive memories of school which we hope will be a tear jerker (in a good way!) which the children will enjoy singing.

Below you will find the resources for the song including a performance and backing track version of a song and a pdf of the vocal score and the lyrics.
