Choir
We welcome everyone at West Denton Primary to join the school choir, we even have some of our staff that take part. We enjoy celebrating our love and passion for singing on a weekly basis throughout the whole school year. The choir is a great place to build a sense of belonging and community.
Grainger Market
The children in the choir had a fabulous time performing their favourite Christmas songs for customers of the Grainger Market in Newcastle. From 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' to Wham's 'Last Christmas' our audience was very impressed.

Christmas Nativity
It's the most wonderful time of the year. The children and staff dedicate a lot of time and hard work into putting together some wonderful Christmas productions for families and friends to enjoy. It certainly helps us get into the festive spirit. The children develop many skills taking part in our school Nativity's such as listening, building confidence and working as an ensemble whilst having great fun.
