Rolling out the red carpet for its students and music talent across the UK and beyond,
00:06
Five Acre Wood and Maidstone has celebrated the end of the school year by bringing the magic of
00:13
Hollywood to its grounds and is an event that's been taking place for 15 years now.
00:20
Five Acre Wood and Maidstone have brought the magic and excitement of a music festival
00:26
to its students. Woodstock 2025 was created to allow students to experience the excitement of a
00:34
music festival, something many are likely to face challenges witnessing because of neurodivergence.
00:43
This is our annual music festival where we bring all the elements of a traditional music festival
00:49
to Five Acre Wood School which enables our pupils who are described as having profound,
00:54
severe and complex learning needs to access a real deal music festival.
00:58
However, not even a sudden downpour was enough to stop everyone from singing in the rain.
01:05
It's brilliant, I mean when it first started we had a very small affair where we had children
01:14
from local schools singing on the stage and it's grown and grown and grown to the size it is now
01:21
where we have fun fairs where we have famous people come and sing and lots of different things for our
01:28
young people to do. What's your favourite thing? Mine is probably all the singers that come down
01:34
and sing for us. Mine is probably a bit of everything. My favourite one is probably the fun fairs.
01:43
And of course, any music festival needs its supporting cast and Five Acre Wood had plenty
01:50
of volunteers up to the task. Five Acre Wood is really important so we live in the area,
01:56
always knowing it's here. The work they do for the community is absolutely amazing. It's definitely
02:01
the area's largest school that caters for the children with advanced special needs. Really glad to
02:08
help it and give back to the community in some way. Now that a rap has been called for this school
02:13
year at Five Acre Wood, they hope this music concert is an Oscar worthy performance. Henry Luck for
