Now in its third year, *Proms in the Square* brought together a vibrant mix of professional and community ensembles, including The Untold Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Wind Quintet, West End tribute act *Wickeder*, Warrington Brass Band, Twisted Tubes, and The Rock Choir. As our students began their set, the heavens opened — but the show most certainly went on. Battling through the downpour with professionalism and passion, our performers didn’t miss a beat. Impressively, the audience stayed to enjoy the full set, a testament to the high quality of the performance and the resilience of our young musicians. We were also thrilled to see **Mrs Buchan** take to the stage as a performer with **Rock Choir**, the UK’s leading contemporary choir experience. Known for its uplifting and inclusive approach to music, Rock Choir offers no-audition, no-music-reading-required sessions across over 400 communities in the UK, bringing people together through pop and contemporary songs, friendship, and fun. Visitors to the event enjoyed delicious food and drink from local vendors including Warrington Market and the Pink Leaf pop-up bar, with extended opening hours adding to the lively atmosphere. Free Sunday parking helped make the event accessible for all. Earlier in the week, **Mrs Cosgrove** also spoke live with Helen Jones on **BBC Radio Merseyside**, sharing her passion for the arts and highlighting the value of music education in supporting young people’s confidence, creativity, and well-being. A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support our performers — it was a day filled with music, community spirit, and unforgettable memories, rain and all! ???? **If you’d like to see some of the performances, head over to our Facebook page where clips from the day have been shared.** [Proms in the square](https://greatsankey.org/news/tag/proms-in-the-square) [ Netball Rising Stars: Laura, Sienna‑May and Lucie Head to National Championships](https://greatsankey.org/news/2025-05-09-netball-rising-stars-laura-sienna-may-and-lucie-head-to-national-championships) [GCSE Students Raise £1200 at Race Night Fundraiser for Kenya Expedition ](https://greatsankey.org/news/2025-06-12-gcse-students-raise-1200-at-race-night-fundraiser-for-kenya-expedition) ### Our School - [Welcome from the Executive Principal](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/headteacher-s-message) - [Our Values & Ethos](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/our-values) - [Virtual Tour](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/virtual-tours) - [Our Staff](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/staff) - [News](https://greatsankey.org/news) - [Admissions](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/admissions) - [Open Evening](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/open-evening) - [School Performance Information](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/results) - [Ofsted Information](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/ofsted-information) - [Policies and Reports](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/policies-and-reports) - [Governance](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/governance) - [Work For Us](https://greatsankey.org/recruitment) - [Prospectus](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/school-prospectus) - [Omega Multi Academy Trust](https://greatsankey.org/our-school/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Contact Us](https://greatsankey.org/contact) ![Great Sankey High School](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/logo/Omega_Part_of_Logo_White_Mono.png) **Great Sankey High School** Barrow Hall Lane Warrington Cheshire WA5 3AA Tel: 01925 724118 Fax: 01925 727396 Email: ## Follow Us - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/GreatSankeyHS/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/great_sankey_high_school/) ## Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Great Sankey High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://greatsankey.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) Update cookies preferences
