Students at Harrow High School were treated to a visit from an X Factor finalist yesterday.

Year 7, 8 and 9 students at the Gayton Road school were rewarded for their good behaviour and attendance this year with a performance by 2011 TV singing contest finalist, Amelia Lily.

Ms Lily sang her latest single You Give Me Joy, as well as a cover of As Long As You Love Me and her single Shut Up, which will be released in January.

Mr Gamble, headteacher, said: “It was fantastic that such a high profile singer would come and perform at the school, and for the learners it was an excellent reward for their continued good behaviour and attendance.”
