Pixie Lott comes to Brentwood County High School

Categories: General News

Students at Brentwood County High School had a wonderful surprise on Friday when nominated Brit Award singer Pixie Lott came to the school to perform. Students sat mesmerised as she sang two of her hit singles and two cover pieces accompanied by Ben, her guitarist.

Pixie then took questions from the students who asked her about her musical influences and what inspired her song writing.

The students had a fantastic time listening to her sing and those lucky enough to be in the front row were able to shake her hand!

Mrs. Carol Mason, Headteacher said “We are very proud to have had Pixie Lott come to our school. Brentwood County High School has an active extra-curricular music programme and we hope that Pixie Lott’s visit on Friday will encourage even more students to get involved with music and possibly take up a musical instrument. We hope that her talk to the youngsters will inspire them to pursue their dreams in whatever field their interest lies.”
 
Pixie Lott was at Brentwood County High School as part of the Department for Children School and Families (DCSF) ‘IN TUNE’ Year of Music campaign. Launched in September 2009 by Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children Schools and Families, the ambition is to bring together and showcase the wide range of music related experiences available to children and young people cross England, to encourage each of them - whatever their talent - to get involved in music.
