For many of us Christmas really begins at School on the first Friday of December when, traditionally, the Prep School holds its annual Christmas Concert. Christmas spirit fills the PA Hall every year as the performers and the audience don their Christmas jumpers, reindeer antlers and Santa hats. 

I am proud to report that this year the tradition was fiercely upheld! There was a wonderfully eclectic mix of performances from guitars to violins, vocals to drums, pianos to ukuleles. The Junior Chamber Choir and the Ukes of Kent were in fine voice and strummage, and a wonderful relaxed sense of fun pervaded the air as our wonderful Prep pupils once again rose to the occasion and dealt with nerves and last minute hitches with relaxed professionalism and a confidence that bodes well for the future. Even the parents outdid themselves with the hilarious and chaotic finale of the 12 Days of Christmas! All the children performed brilliantly and deserve big, Christmas-sized congratulations. A huge thank you is due as well to Mr Kaye, Mr Forrester and Mr Valaei for their work before and on the night.
