Godolphin Vocal Ensemble win Barnardo's Senior School Choir of the Year Competition

Last November, Godolphin joined hundreds of schools from across the country in submitting an entry to the competition by CD. Seven senior school choirs were chosen to compete in the finals which took place at the Royal Festival Hall recently.

Godolphin's Vocal Ensemble won the competition and were crowned Barnardo's Senior School Choir of the Year 2015. As part of their prize, the Vocal Ensemble will have a song specially written for them, which they will perform in the Royal Albert Hall later in the year.

Mrs Olivia Sparkhall, director of the ensemble, spoke with the chief judge, Dr Douglas Coombes MBE, after the event and he revealed that the 'superb unison singing' had clinched it for the five judges whose decision had been unanimous.
