Colsterworth Festival Schools’ Showcase is held in school-time at the ChristChurch, Finkin Street, Grantham.
The Colsterworth Festival presents a wonderful opportunity for children to perform, to sing, to play instruments before a large audience, Showcasing your school.
Projects already undertaken in School can be used and the Festival gives pupils the chance to perform before a much wider audience – the children enjoy the experience of being on a really big stage and the competitive element.
- The adjudicator speaks to the children at the end of each section, with positive comments about what has gone well and how to improve the performance.
- Every entry receives a certificate and an adjudicator’s comment sheet – and there are medals and trophies to be won.
- You don’t need to specify which songs/pieces you are playing as these can be announced on the day.
At the ChristChurch, there are classes for:
- School Choirs
- School Orchestras and ensembles
- Choral Speaking

All our classes comply with the National Curriculum, so pupils are enabled;
- to sing and to use their voices, to create music with others
- to play and perform in ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression
- to participate in the artistic practice of drama and have opportunities to….a range of audiences, so confidence, enjoyment and mastery of language are extended through public speaking and performance
- to learn a wider range of poetry by heart
