Ethan experienced severe disruption to his education in November 2023 and has not been to school since then. He is currently in Year 11, but singing has been his motivating factor in trying to continue his education. He achieved a distinction in his Grade 7 singing exam in December 2023 (89%) and has joined a private GCSE Music study class.

In addition to his exam success, he also won 2 trophies at the Oswestry Youth Music Festival, and has been accepted into the Royal Northern College of Music (junior dept) for September this year. He has continued to sing in the local church choir, and also a local youth choir which performs in care homes. He has also been a guest soloist with a local male voice choir.

I have been very impressed with how he has continued to develop his singing whilst experiencing the challenges he has faced.
