BGT star Sally-Ann Spence visits Ashbury Primary School

Sally-Ann Spence, a Golden Buzzer act from this year’s series and a member of Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Farmers Choir, visited Ashbury Primary School on Friday, May 1 to judge its annual talent competition, Ashbury’s Got Talent.

Ms Spence, who is from Berrycroft Farm in Ashbury, also has a long personal connection to the school through her children, and a classroom is named in honour of her family’s farm.

Headteacher Tim Miller said: “The standard this year was absolutely brilliant.

“Every performer showed real courage, creativity and commitment.

“I am incredibly proud of all of them.”

The finals featured a wide range of performances from pupils, including dancing, singing, boxing, bike riding, a band performance, and a poem recital.

The eventual winner, Ivor, delivered a standout performance by learning and performing Roald Dahl’s The Porcupine entirely by heart, with acting, humour and enthusiasm, impressing both judges and audience alike.

Ms Spence’s involvement provided a meaningful link between a national stage and a local school environment, inspiring pupils to pursue their own talents.

The entire school community thanked Sally-Ann for her time and encouragement.

They also wished her good luck in the upcoming Britain’s Got Talent semi-final.
