Teachers Take Centre Stage!

On Thursday 28^th November LP hosted our very own edition of The Masked Singer, and it was a show to remember! This inaugural event was part of our School’s Music for Wellbeing initiative, designed as a collaborative project between our Music Department and Pastoral Care Team, recognising the profound impact music has on student wellbeing and mental health.

Brave teachers from across the School stepped into the spotlight, disguised in elaborate costumes as they belted out their favourite tune, whilst prefects compèred the show and acted as guest judges. Students packed the hall with cheers, laughter, and plenty of guesses about who was behind each mask. Alex (Year 7) said “I thought it was great, it was really fun seeing them sing. It was a great show and I’m excited to see more later today when they take off their masks. I think Big Bird is Becky!”

Whilst many of the students were sure they’d guessed the identity of some of the performers, many proved to be as entertaining as they were surprising. In order of appearance, the performers were:

• Head of Film and TV, Reece Kelly-Gould as The Gruffola singing Ride around Sally
• Head of ILC, Stuart Bracewell as Dinosaur singing ‘Ring of Fire’
• Director of Fryer, Becky Edwards as Big Bird singing ‘Uptown Funk’
• Maths teacher, Duncan Laurie-Pile as Kevin the Minion singing ‘Fix You’
• MFL teacher Pablo Gorostidi Perez as Christmas Tree singing ‘Chasing Cars’
• ILC and Resident Tutor, Su Griffiths as Sky from Paw Patrol singing ‘You’re Still the One’
• Assistant Director of Fryer and Head of Geography Oliver Staines as Baby Shark singing ‘The Leavin’ of Liverpool’

Director of Music, Rosemary Scales “What a fantastic Masked Singer Teachers’ Edition. Some huge surprises for the School community were unmasked following 7 brilliant performances! Thank you to everyone who took part!”

The event embodied the spirit of the Music for Wellbeing programme, highlighting music’s power to uplift and inspire. Through a creative and mysterious twist, the Masked Singer brought the School community together, demonstrating how music can foster connection and shared happiness.
