Thanks for re-posting the new link, not sure why they took the first one down.

I transcribed the words, hopefully correctly, so now you can all sing along. :0)


THIS SCHOOL
(as performed by the National Union of Teachers Choir)

CHORUS
This school is your school, this school is my school
From pre-school nursery to our universities
From the Straits of Dover to the Irish Sea
These schools were made for you and me

We really cherish those magic moments
When Love makes sense and eyes light up, light up
Each town is different but needs the same thing
Schools that are full of care and joy

We don't care much for OFSTED gradings
Or where we stand in global tables
We know full what progress looks like
Students who love to learn some more

This school is your school, this school is my school
From pre-school nursery to our universities
From the Straits of Dover to the Irish Sea
These schools were made for you and me

But there are people, politicians, bankers
Who disagree with you and me
So everybody must heed the call now
Stop corporate asset stripping in its tracks

Public experience trumps private ignorance
"Hands off our schools!" is what we ask
No good ever comes from privatization
Our schools will die if run by them

This school is your school, this school is my school
From pre-school nursery to our universities
From the Straits of Dover to the Irish Sea
These schools were made for you and me.
