5 Songs For A Leavers' Assembly

Tuesday 9th July 2019

As the school year comes to an end, many children are preparing for a big step in their lives.

Leaving primary school can be an emotional experience and although the celebrations might

look very different this year, this pivotal moment for year 6 children is still just as important.

These are some of our top 5 songs for a Leavers’ celebration:

1. Today We Celebrate from Summer Assembly Songs, ages 5-11
