IT was an unforgettable last day of school for Christopher Whitehead Language College students after their teachers presented them with a Carpool Karaoke style goodbye video.

The video featured members of staff in cars and the school’s minibus showing off their musical talent.

This included a unique cover of Waterloo by the English Department, the Pastoral Team boogieing to No Limit and the Modern Foreign Languages’ Department giving Justin Bieber a run for his money with their version of Despacito.

The Maths Department, meanwhile, could not resist a rendition of their old favourite The Circle Song.

The video has now been viewed more than 5,500 times on Youtube but was first unveiled to Year 11 Leavers at the school in Bromwich Road, St John’s, on Friday, June 23.

It follows a school custom of an annual Leavers’ video which started in 2012 when staff grooved to The Jackson 5’s Blame it On the Boogie.

In proceeding years they discoed to numbers such as Pharrell Williams’ Happy and Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk.

Rachael Stevens, assistant headteacher, who was involved in the making of the video said: “With the popularity of James Corden’s Carpool Karaokes this year it seemed an ideal opportunity for us to try something a bit different and to have a crack ourselves.

"We show the video in the Year 11s' final assembly, which is a lovely end to their time at Christopher Whitehead.

"As the video has become somewhat of a tradition now, the students speculate for a while beforehand about what we might do and there's lots of excitement on the day.

"They seemed to really enjoy it and were howling with laughter at some parts, especially Mr Morris who surprised them with his rendition of Firestarter.

"The whole video received a very big round of applause and cheering, so we think they enjoyed it!”

She added: “The videos we make for the Year 11 Leavers are valuable to both the students and staff.

"We like to think we thrive on great relationships at CWLC, and the videos show the students that we're human.

"Everyone works so very hard too - students and staff - in the lead up to the GCSEs and it's testament to the staff that when they're so busy they can still make time to do something for the students that doesn't have an academic outcome - it's just good fun and says thank you to them for their hard work over the last five years. We think the students see that and are very appreciative.”

Despite having to keep plans for next year’s video under wraps she admitted that the pressure is very much on after Carpool Karaoke’s success and that staff will be thinking hard for ideas over the next six months.
