The Queen’s lower school choir is competing for the second year in a row in the televised competition run by Songs of Praise. Last year they lost out to Ysgol lol Morganwg School after a performance of ‘Make me a Channel of your Peace’. This year the televised performances took place at the Albert Hall, Nottingham in March but the result is still a secret.

Headmistress of the lower school Rachel Cookson said: “The girls had a fabulous time at the recording and just loved the drama and excitement of the whole thing. We are obviously aware of the result but have been sworn to secrecy until the competition is broadcast on 26 April.

“We hope that lots of local families tune in to see the performance – we are extremely proud of the choir and it is fabulous that Chester is being represented in this way on such a prestigious national stage.”
