A fantastic night of entertainment generated hundreds of donations of food for Corby Foodbank.

Parents donated hundreds of packets and tins of food to the charity in exchange for tickets to our sell-out Christmas Talent Show which was held at the end of last term.

The spectacular event featured a wide variety of brilliant acts, including performances by singers, dancers and gymnasts.

Talent Show co-ordinator Markus Wilson said: “It was a fantastic show and we would like to thank all the students and staff who were involved and our judges.

“We were treated to a variety of amazing acts and some of our singers in particular were very brave and chose incredibly challenging songs to sing which they performed very well.

“We would also like to thank everyone who donated food to Corby Foodbank. We received hundreds of donations and were overwhelmed by the response.”

The show featured 17 acts and was opened by teacher Yaa Essel who performed an Adele track.

It was judged by Brooke Weston Academy Director of Performing Arts Steven Duguid, Brooke Weston Academy’s Assistant Head of Sixth Form Victoria Duguid-Yeomans and Corby Technical School's Tracy Keogh.

The overall winner was Year 9 singer Kara. The Year 8 section of the competition was won by vocalist Bayley and the Year 7 section of the competition was won by Ceris who also sang.

Our guest of honour was Corby Foodbank Manager Louise Taylor who received 244.25 kg of food donations from the school.
