IMPs wow us at the Oscars…

….The IMPs Oscars that is! On the last week of term, we held a glitzy bash for our Senior IMPs to celebrate their achievements over the last few months. There was a red carpet, the IMPs Walk of Fame and fab disco, the IMPs way of course!

Every Monday during term time, the group have been working on their song ‘The IMPs Way’. A song all about being part of AAM’s Inclusive Music Projects, and most importantly, having fun!

Each participant has played a huge part in it coming together, from lyrics to guitar riffs and percussion parts. We think it's fab and can't wait to hear it at the next AAM concert!

And the awards go to…

Once the paparazzi had settled and everyone was seated, it was time to share some awards celebrating everyone's work on the song.
