Talented Ormiston SWB Academy student reaches ‘Ormiston’s Got Talent’ national final

Ormiston’s Got Talent is a prestigious competition showcasing the artistic talents of students from Ormiston Academies Trust schools across the country.

The regional semi-final, hosted at Ormiston SWB Academy in Bilston, saw two talented Year 9 students from the school, Darius and Anna, perform their own original compositions in front of an excited audience. Anna impressed viewers with a heartfelt and optimistic song about her dreams and aspirations while Darius captivated the crowd with his lively song, By The Lake, which had the audience clapping along. Both students delivered outstanding performances with Darius securing a well-deserved place in the national finals, set to be held later this year at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

There remains a possibility for Anna to join the final lineup through a wildcard selection, which will be determined once scores from schools across the UK are compiled.

The Ormiston’s Got Talent final will take place at Birmingham Repertory Theatre, where Darius will compete against talented students from Ormiston academies nationwide. The event provides a platform for young artists to showcase their abilities in front of a panel of judges and a live audience.

Dan Mason, Principal at Ormiston SWB Academy, said: “At Ormiston SWB Academy, we are committed to nurturing and celebrating the talents of all our students, providing them with opportunities to shine on local and national stages. It has been really exciting to take part in Ormiston’s Got Talent alongside students from across Ormiston Academies Trust and we’re hugely proud of all our students who got involved and made it such a success - Darius and Anna showcased exceptional talent and creativity, and our technical crew demonstrated outstanding teamwork and professionalism. We are thrilled that Darius will represent our academy in the national finals, and we are hopeful for Anna’s wildcard selection. Well done to them both!”
