Stourport High School’s recently-formed choir, VOX, performed at the town’s VE Day Celebration at the War Memorial Park and there was more singing at Hartlebury CE Primary School as pupils, dressed in the period, entertained their families with a medley of wartime songs.
At Wilden All Saints CE Primary School, pupils wore red, white and blue and enjoyed dancing and music on the playground while children at St Bartholomew’s CE Primary School, Areley Kings, had special lessons and activities, including decorating jars as tea-light holders, as they learned about the anniversary and remembered those who died in the war.
