School Song Final 2025 ⭐
Lightning strikes twice! ⚡⚡
We are extremely proud to share that Newton Primary School was selected once again from hundreds of schools to perform in the final of the UK School Song writing competition in London. This took place in October 2025. This was another fabulous opportunity for our school to shine on stage. The song title was "We believe in you" and we certainly did!!
This was a huge achievement for the children and the school. 15 children performed their song in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. The ultimate prize for the winning song was a professional recording and global release of their song.
Pupils described the trip as an unforgettable experience:
Ottilie Cosson said: “It was an amazing experience to take part in this competition for the second time. I had been looking forward to this so much since we were selected to compete in the final.”
Summer Doughty added: “It was the most magical time as everyone shared their wonderful songs on stage. We had been practising for such a long time in anticipation of the final and we really enjoyed it.”
Leo Pickard said: “It was the best experience ever, as all the groups were excellent singers and it was great to be a part of it. To be the only school chosen to compete for the second time was unbelievable!”
Seren Devlin-Davies added: “I really enjoyed the laughter we had on the day of the performance. We worked together as a team and had fun and that’s what really matters. It was a wonderful experience and I would love to do it again!”
“This is a fantastic achievement for Newton Primary and a shining example of how the expressive arts curriculum can positively impact our pupils and staff. “To be the only school in the UK invited to perform for consecutive years speaks volumes and is testament to the creativity, teamwork and passion of staff and pupils.”
School Song UK final 2024
In September, Newton Primary School embarked on a 400 mile round trip to London to compete in ‘The School Song UK‘ final. The group represented Wales in a national songwriting competition that featured schools from all corners of the Britain. They gave an outstanding performance of our original song ‘Back to the sixties’ and it was a hugely proud moment for all the children, parents and the school. They are such a talented and enthusiastic group and were one of only ten other schools who qualified for the final from over 1000 entries.
It was a brilliant day and the children gave absolutely everything but just finished outside the top 3. The standard of the talent was incredibly high and the winning school gave an amazing performance. The atmosphere in the event was very supportive, encouraging and appreciative. We are so grateful for the opportunity to participate and are already planning next years entry.😀
