ST Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Buckfast is through to the final eight choirs in Radio Devon’s Star for Christmas competition, which attracted entries from primary schools throughout the county.

Each finalist has its song played on the Radio Devon breakfast show every morning around 8.25am and listeners can vote for their favourite choir from Monday until 4pm on Thursday.

Voting is via: bbc.in/1vPOE1c and register using ivote.

The winning choir is invited to sing in Exeter Cathedral at a special service on Tuesday, December 15, which will be recorded and broadcast by Radio Devon on Christmas Day.

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School choir is organised by two teachers, Sophie Kerswell and Marie Evans, and represents a third of the total pupils in the school.

The carol entered for the competition is the traditional While Shepherds Watched, but the children sing it with a unique melody line.
