With funding from the Heritage Lottery fund, Cohere Arts developed a project across all our schools called “Unsung Heroes”.

Children in each school first visited local libraries in Lowestoft and The Hold in Ipswich to research the people from the past who had lived in the area around their school, and who had enriched their community in their time.

When they had chosen their “unsung hero” and discovered more about their story, the children worked with Cohere’s songwriters to create a new school song featuring their character from the past.

Each school has created a choir that has learnt their song to lead their peers in celebrating their unsung hero!

All 13 choirs came together to perform all of the songs across the ASSET family at a performance at Snape Maltings on Saturday 18th November. Children had a chance to work with professional musicians in inspirational surroundings, and bring the historical unsung heroes of their local communities back to life. The concert hall was packed full of family, friends, school staff and members of the local community.

We'll continue to use our brilliant songs in assemblies, events and more!
