We’re incredibly proud of the music created to raise awareness during Children’s Mental Health Week last week by some of our students here at the academy: take a bow Ben, Billy, Toni, Scott, Lewis and Shamus. What amazing work – have a listen to the powerful music and lyrics they composed, produced and performed together: Thank you to our students and music therapist Gareth for working so creatively together and allowing us to share the results with you all.
