A ROCK school is opening in Colchester.

"Supastars" will be holding a summer school at the Hythe Community Centre and Oaktree Centre in St Anne’s.

The group has been given up to £30,000 in the last two years by Youth Music, which encourages children to learn an instrument.

It will feature at Oaklands on August 6 to 9.

The rock school will take over at the Hythe on August 13 to 16.

Each week will end with a concert.

It costs £5 for the week and is open to nine to 16-year-olds.

To book a place at either summer school call the Hythe Community Centre on 01206 870266.
