CAROLS echoing around a school hall would give Simon Cowell a run for his money when a Hampshire junior school produced an album.

Children aged seven to 11 from North Baddesley Junior School recorded 21 tracks for a professional Christmas CD to raise money for school funds.

The whole school, separate year groups and soloists took to the microphones for traditional and modern carols.

The CD produced went on sale to the children’s parents yesterday.
