The choirs rehearsed the songs during the afternoon before giving a concert to parents.

A spokesman for Carres Grammar School said: “It was fantastic to see the amazing talents of the students, including some soloists.

“The children and parents left the event buzzing with excitement.”

The choir festival was organised by Cat Vernon, head of Music at St George’s, and Ruth Quinton, head of Music at Carre’s Grammar School.
