🎶 Live Music & Powerful Messages at the Academy 🎶

We were delighted to welcome The Mercians to the Academy!
Every year group enjoyed live performances inspired by the British indie rock revival of the early 2000s. The band have recently supported Jess Glynne on tour, reached over 2 million streams on Spotify, and achieved Number 1 in the Alt Charts!
Beyond the music, The Mercians shared honest reflections on their own mental health journeys, helping to raise awareness and encourage open conversations. They also spoke powerfully about the importance of kindness, fairness, and respect for everyone, celebrating our differences in gender, race, and sexuality.
Matt, Harry, Owen, Ben and Joe were recently nominated for a mental health award to celebrate their work in this sector.
A truly inspiring and memorable experience for our students.
