SIR – I recently had the privilege of attending the Bradford Academy’s Got Talent Finals 2012. It’s certainly true – they have talent in abundance.

However, what stood out most for me was the support and encouragement the children performing received from one another and those in the audience. Also, the acts consisted of children from a variety of ages, abilities and backgrounds all working together to produce an amazing show.

It is clear that the children and staff at the school work hard at producing an environment of mutual respect and consideration for one another, which is heartening.

Well done to those involved, on stage, behind the scenes and those supporting in the audience.
