DELIGHTED members of a Kidderminster school group are celebrating after being crowned champions in a district choir competition.
Holy Trinity School took top honours in the Wyre Forest Primary Schools Choir Competition, held at Kidderminster Town Hall.
The event was organised by Fred Holland in honour of his wife Shirley, who died in 2014 following a battle with dementia and Type 2 diabetes.
Six local primary schools battled it out, with Holy Trinity School named the eventual winner of the Shirley Holland Memorial Shield.
Holy Trinity School and Sixth Form Centre teacher, Mrs Sarah Roberts said: “I am so incredibly proud of the children, who worked extremely hard practising their two competition songs, in between their many other commitments in school.
“The choir were complimented on their harmony singing, soloists and disciplined and professional approach.”
Compered by Rosemary Hutton, the proceeds from the event will be shared between charities Diabetes UK, Dementia UK and the Fred Holland Centre for Diabetes at Kidderminster Hospital.
