A GROUP of singers from Marpool Primary School have followed in the footsteps of acts such as Justin Timberlake and The Rolling Stones by performing at a prestigious venue.

Students from the Exmouth School, in Moor field Road, took to the stage at the O2 arena in London last week to take part in a national schools singing event, called Voices in a Million.

The students joined up with hundreds of other children from across the UK to form a choir and performed in front of a 7000 audience.

The event was staged to raise awareness for The British Association for Adoption and Fostering and the 4,000 youngsters in the UK who need a family.
