Leah had the privilege of attending a mentoring session with Katherine Jenkins OBE in London where she received tips for her performance for the semi-final and potential final. The excitement was palpable during filming which took place in September in Manchester. Leah performed in front of a panel of talented musicians including Katherine Jenkins OBE and Aled Jones. 

As a school community, Banbridge Academy offer their congratulations to Leah for reaching the semi-finals of this prestigious competition. This is an amazing experience and the school are looking forward to the performances and awards which will be aired on BBC 1 on 22 November, 29 November and 6 December 2020.
