The Choir

In episode one, principal David Benson invites Gareth to spend the summer term in KAA's temporary home – a collection of swiftly assembled portacabins a mile away. David hopes the school will return to their original site in September and wants to mark the occasion with a concert. KAA specialises in performing arts and David believes passionately in the value of music and singing. He asks Gareth to help the students produce a performance that will celebrate their pride in the community, their happy memories and the courage and resilience they have shown.

In the second episode, staff and pupils are back in their building after more than a year away. The uncertainty around the return is now behind them and they focus on the concert.
