Eastbourne teachers make joy-filled lip sync video to say goodbye to Year 11s

Eastbourne teachers have said a heartfelt goodbye to their Year 11 students – with a high energy lip sync video.

With just 24 hours’ notice, the performing arts team at Ratton school managed to put together the video featuring all staff.

Teachers can be seen dancing through the classrooms, down the corridors, and even in the gym to the Bruno Mars’ hit Uptown Funk.

The video starts with an intro reminiscent of Carpool Karaoke with four teachers hopping into a car, throwing on sunglasses and bopping.

Students were made up to have the proper send off, despite the sad circumstances.

This comes after the Government told all schools to close on Friday (March 20), in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Exams have been cancelled.

Children of keyworkers, including NHS staff and care workers, should still remain at home, but if this affects the ability to work they can be sent into school.
