We’ve just been visited by a global superstar!!!
Today our music students received a surprise visit from the one and only @edsheeran!⭐
An incredibly inspiring opportunity all involved, as Ed spoke to our students about his journey in the industry and career so far!
Speaking about the visit, Ian Naylor, Head of Music Education Sheffield at the Council, said: “It’s been a pleasure to host Ed today and see first hand his commitment to using his global platform to champion the importance of music education."

So many things wrong with this performance but one of the worst is the implication that you can’t get a good education in the state sector and that parents who send their children to state schools DON’T have aspiration or , care. That’s the 93% you are talking about @RishiSunak.
7 years ago I played Mahler’s monumental 2nd symphony in Southwark cathedral. The opening words of the final movement: "humankind lies in greatest need and in greatest pain". Last few words include "I shall die so as to live". Very apt for Armistice Day.
