🌟 Bedford Students Shine on the National Stage! 🌟
What an incredible opportunity for some of our talented Bedford students!
🎤 Mr Leslie and Miss Drake recently took 11 wonderful pupils to the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) in Manchester to attend the prestigious National Arts and Cultural Education Awards. The event celebrated young people who had taken part in the inspiring Rhyme or Reason poetry programme.
⭐ Five of our amazing students were selected to perform at the event, captivating the audience with their creativity, confidence and exceptional performance skills. The celebration was hosted by comedian and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Jayde Adams, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
👏 Our pupils also received special praise from the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Bev Craig, who commended the quality of their poetry and the confidence and professionalism of their performances.
🎬 The celebrations did not stop there. We were also thrilled to learn that a short film created from one of the poems produced during the first year of the Rhyme or Reason project is being entered into the Royal Television Society Student North West Awards. The film was inspired by Waves Against My Boat, a powerful poem written by Jasmine, who was in Year 9 at the time.
What an incredible achievement and a real testament to the impact of young people's creativity. We are so proud of Jasmine and honoured to see her work receiving this level of recognition!
The link to the film is here;

💙 We are incredibly proud of all 11 students who represented Bedford with such enthusiasm, talent and professionalism and Jasmine who thoroughly deserves this recognition.
Opportunities like these demonstrate the power of the arts to inspire, empower and give young people a voice.
Thank you to Mr Leslie and Mrs Brough for all their hard work on Rhyme and Reason and Miss Drake for taking the students along on the day. Thanks also to Mrs Stafford for co-ordinating Bedford’s involvement in this fantastic project.
Congratulations to everyone involved. You were fantastic ambassadors for Bedford, and we couldn't be prouder!
