Choir
The choir is open to children from Year 3 to Year 6 who enjoy singing and performing. It rehearses on a Thursday afternoon after school and is led by Mrs Heymoz.
“Clubs, for example, choir, provide pupils with opportunities to celebrate their
achievements. Pupils sing in assembly and visit other schools to watch performances.
Pope Paul Catholic Primary School is known locally as ‘the singing school’ because of their
strong performances.”
