Leeds' Cookridge Primary School named as regional finalist in nationwide Frozen sing-along
Cookridge Primary School has been named one of 12 regional finalists in a nationwide schools sing-along competition celebrating the launch of the highly anticipated World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris.
Over 10,000 schools were invited to rehearse and perform the iconic song Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen to be in with a chance of winning a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform live at Disneyland Paris as part of the celebrations for the opening of World of Frozen.
Excitingly, Cookridge Primary School, Leeds, has been shortlisted in the final 12.
The campaign is being delivered in partnership by AttractionTickets.com, the UK’s leading theme park specialist and preferred UK launch partner for the World of Frozen, and world-leading educational publisher, Twinkl.
The campaign engaged over 10,000 schools, each invited to rehearse and perform the iconic song.
Cookridge Primary School was selected as a regional finalist following a standout performance that impressed judges with exceptional teamwork, creativity and school spirit.
The school group now progresses to the next stage of the competition, representing Yorkshire & Humber.
Its entry is currently being judged by world-renowned singer Katherine Jenkins OBE, alongside representatives from Disneyland Paris, AttractionTickets.com, and Twinkl.
The final will see one winning school group earn a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform live at Disneyland Paris as part of the celebrations for the opening of World of Frozen - the largest expansion of the park to date.
Families will also be able to share in the moment, with up to three family members invited to attend per child.
