High school musical stars take to the stage

The atrium at Shuttleworth College is transformed into a concert hall on Friday lunch-times as students take part in the "open mic" event.

Students are invited to sing or play musical instruments as their classmates gather to watch them.

Teacher Lorna Pennington said: "It's been a massive hit.

"This has helped to build up the confidence of our students, they get used to performing in front of a crowd and many have found hidden talents.

"It creates a really good atmosphere at the end of the week."
