Listen! They’re playing our song

Date published: 15 September 2008

MUSIC proved magical for staff and pupils at Limeside Primary — teachers spent their latest training day with composer Francis Goodhand to write, perform and record a new song.

“Wings” was created to celebrate the school’s vision and once back at school, the children were thrilled to learn a song written for them.

The new tune was performed by pupils at a special assembly for James Atherton, from Oldham Theatre Workshop, which masterminded the song-writing.

Helen Arya, headteacher, said: “Staff and children sing with real passion and enthusiasm,

“ ‘Wings’ totally encapsulates the spirit of Limeside School.”

Mr Atherton said: “It is a fantastic song but, much more that that, it is a fantastic school.

“Usually it is the staff that are proud of their students but today the students must be so proud of their teachers.”
