Celebrating our pupils’ success with Electric Umbrella
We are incredibly proud to celebrate the achievements of three of our new Year 7 pupils, Felix B, Raphael G, and Harriet H, who recently took part in a very special event with Electric Umbrella.
Electric Umbrella is a charity that works with learning-disabled and neurodiverse people to challenge perceptions, break down barriers and promote inclusion through the power of music.
On Tuesday 18th September, Electric Umbrella was invited to perform at the BBC Make a Difference Awards at the Grove Theatre, Dunstable. As part of this performance, Felix, Raphael and Harriet represented our school community with great pride.
These pupils have already played a remarkable role in Electric Umbrella’s work. While at Sarratt School, they helped to write and perform the original song Acceptance, which was showcased on Britain’s Got Talent and even awarded Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer. Their creativity and commitment have been instrumental in challenging stereotypes and showing the world what is possible when difference is celebrated.
This latest opportunity builds on the national recognition they have already received and allows them to continue developing their confidence, teamwork and leadership skills. It is also a shining example of how the values of inclusion and creativity, central to our school, are being lived out by our pupils beyond the classroom.
Having been part of Electric Umbrella for 10 years, since starting in Reception at Sarratt School, Felix, Raphael and Harriet bring with them not only their talents but also a strong sense of citizenship. As they begin their secondary school journey, we know they will continue to inspire others and carry forward the spirit of inclusion wherever they go.
We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements and the positive difference they are making in our wider community.
