✨ Spreading Festive Cheer! 🎶✨
This week, some of our incredibly talented Bedford High School singers took their voices into the heart of our community — performing Christmas carols at local shopping centres and The Hub in Leigh.
Not only did they fill the town with festive magic, but they also helped raise even more money for the Atherton & Leigh Food Bank. We’re incredibly proud of their generosity, community spirit and beautiful harmonies. ❤️🎤
A huge thank you to our wonderful students, our dedicated Music staff Miss Corcoran and Mrs Stafford, and the venues for welcoming us so warmly. Moments like these remind us just how powerful the Arts are in bringing people together and making a real difference.
🎄 Bedford High Music — sharing joy, supporting our community, inspiring our young musicians. 🎶 #wearebedfordarts

🎄✨ What a magical week for Bedford Arts! ✨🎄

We had an incredible time celebrating the festive season at our Christmas Concert alongside our wonderful partner primary schools — St Stephen’s, Leigh St Mary’s, and Leigh CE!

From beautiful harmonies to joyful performances, our young musicians lit up the stage and filled the hall with Christmas spirit. 🌟🎶

A huge well done to all the pupils and staff who worked so hard, and a heartfelt thank you to families and supporters who joined us. Your enthusiasm made the night truly special. 💛

Here’s to community, creativity, and a brilliant start to the festive season! 🎅🎼 #wearebedfordarts
