Britney Spears and the Beatles have inspired music videos produced by pupils in a festive fundraiser.
A group of boys from Gresham’s School in Holt have recorded versions of Spear’s Baby One More Time, while a girls’ group picked Across the Universe for their production.
The version of Baby One More Time was produced by Nigel Dick, a former Gresham’s student, who also produced the Band Aid single, Do They Know it’s Christmas.
A Gresham’s spokesman said of the Beatles’ cover: “The song is a testament to hope amid the chaos and a haunting reminder of our troubled, transient world.
"War, disease, and the looming threat of climate change can foster a sense of hopelessness and resignation.
“The Gresham’s girls set out to change that mindset, combining ethereal vocals and melancholy piano accompaniment in an intoxicating blend of floating sound.”
Money raised from the recordings goes towards the Holt Youth Project.
