Schoolchildren are hoping for pop chart success, after recording a World Cup anthem.

Pupils at Isis Middle School, in Meadow Lane, Oxford, feature on a song celebrating this summer's international football tournament.

The song, called World Cup in Our Hands, was written by Oxford-based musician Julian Sharples and was recorded at the Warehouse Studios, in Kennington. It will be released in April.

Mr Sharples said: "I think we have got a hit on our hands, which will be great news for the kids at Isis School, who did such a good singing job for us.

"It's one thing to see people doing it on TV programmes like Pop Stars and another to do it yourself in a professional recording studio."
