Bosbury's Got Talent 2026 - The Search Begins!

Yes, it's THAT time of year again! Bosbury's Got Talent is BACK - and it's bigger and better than ever!

Time to dust off those microphones, hone your dancing skills, perfect those amazing magic acts, teach your dog new tricks and practise those hilarious one-liners, because our ever-popular whole school Easter talent show, formed back in 2016 at the special request of our School Council, is returning for its ninth contest!

ITV executives have been approached, Ant and Dec have already been booked, and even though attempts to contact Simon Cowell have so far failed (his phone always seems to be engaged when Mrs. Bolton tries to phone through), we can confirm that the competition will launch on Monday 16th March, with auditions taking place in each class over the next week as three entries from each go through to the final fifteen in the exciting live Grand Final, to be held in the school hall on Wednesday 25th March.

Entries are open to individual acts, duet performances and small groups, and just about anything goes in terms of what you can perform! Singing, dancing, ballet, instrument playing, gymnastics, magic tricks, juggling, football skills, hula hoop acts, puppet shows, comedy routines, impersonations, baking the staff cakes and making them cups of tea in the shortest time possible... the choice is yours!*

Possible Bosbury's Got Talent 2026 judging panel (to be confirmed) 

All we ask is that you be brave, try your best and, above all, have fun with your audition. Originality, creativity, confidence, polish and something which just generally makes you stand out from the crowd will of course significantly increase your chances of receiving the Golden Buzzer, and acts with an educational leaning are also sure to earn you major Brownie points from the Bosbury's Got Talent judges (wink wink nudge nudge)!

YouTube is available for backing music, with USB sticks also being an option providing they are clearly labelled, kept safe in school and brought in at the owner's own risk. ITV plc cannot accept any reliability or responsibility for any lost or damaged pieces of recording equipment.

To get you in the mood and to give you further ideas and inspiration, we leave you with a final sizeable photo montage of past BGT competitors and winners, going from the most recent 2025 competition all the way back to the inaugural year of the contest. How many of them can you remember...?

GOOD LUCK TO THIS YEAR'S BOSBURY'S GOT TALENT ENTRANTS! A FULL LIVE GRAND FINAL REPORT WILL APPEAR ON THE WEBSITE VERY SOON, FEATURING OUR 2026 WINNERS! 

*DISCLAIMER: Our school fire warden Mr. Ponter does request that, in the interests of health and safety, any acts involving flaming hoops, fire-breathing or juggling flaming skittles while riding a unicycle blindfolded are NOT permitted for entry. Thank you.
