Motcombe youngsters sing for Archbishop of Canterbury

MOTCOMBE Primary School pupils sang for the Archbishop of Canterbury over the weekend.

The youngsters were at Salisbury Cathedral on Sunday (June 11), where they sang two pieces of welcoming music during a visit from Justin Welby.

They also sang a final song as part of the service of celebration.

Teacher, Alison Day, said: “The children were superb, their singing was wonderful and their performance in front of hundreds of people was amazing.”

The group sang three songs from the Hymnpact programme which Motcombe School is trialling as part of a pilot project for the Royal School of Church Music and the Salisbury Diocese.
