Tewkesbury Academy was thrilled to welcome CTRL, a dynamic and inspirational band, who took to the stage to deliver an unforgettable experience for Year 7 and 8 students.
Excitement filled the air as CTRL gave a high-energy performance, debuting songs from their upcoming album that had students buzzing with enthusiasm.
But this was much more than just a concert – CTRL used their platform to engage with students on some of the most important issues affecting young people today.
In a powerful follow-up session, the band opened up conversations around mental health, bullying, and online safety. They also addressed the value of healthy relationships, the importance of respect and tolerance, and the need to celebrate diversity within our community.

The afternoon ended on a high note, with students lining up for autographs and selfies with the band – a memory many will treasure.
