Grace Academy students in full voice for charity single

STUDENTS from a Chelmsley Wood school have recorded a song to raise money for a leading mental health charity.
The group of pupils from Grace Academy, in Chapelhouse Drive, joined with sister schools in Coventry and Darlaston to lay down a track.
They had just two days in the studio to put the record together, but were helped along their way by professional songwriter Mark Vallance, who has previously worked alongside the likes of Laura Mvula and Tom Walker.
You're Not Alone will be raising funds for Mind, which supports people with a wide range of mental health issues.
Mark paid tribute to the talent and hard work of the students he had worked alongside.
"I was amazed by the standard of vocalists - all of them sing exceptionally well. I was so impressed by their ability to write melody, lyrics, and to collaborate with each other.
"Sharing ideas can sometimes be difficult but they had no problem with it, and that’s another reason why I feel the song has turned out so well."
Year 8 student Notaya Grant said: "It was a good experience. I learned more about mental health issues, and we want to inspire other people through the song.
"Taking part to make a difference in peoples’ lives and raise awareness, has made me feel good about myself.  The song is upbeat, not depressing, and explains the positive message that people need to talk about the issue and not feel alone."
The track is now available to download via iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.
