On Wednesday this week we held our traditional School Carol Service, at the always-welcoming St Nicolas Church in Cranleigh. A Christmas feeling was in the air as the congregation arrived, with Christmas lights, lanterns and candles adorning the church. Led by one of our parents, Claire Oxborough, who is part of the ministerial team at the church, it was a wonderful and entertaining evening of carols, prayers and readings.

I am proud to report our choirs were spectacular! Our young Year 2 singers sounded lovely with their version of “Onwards to Bethlehem Town”, the Junior Chamber Choir brought energy with their rendition of “Wish Upon a Christmas Time”, the Years 7 and 8 choir sang in beautiful harmony for their lovely version of the modern carol “The Little Road to Bethlehem” and the Years 9 to 11 choir hit all the right the notes in their four-part harmony choral version of “Shining Light” with beautiful cello accompaniment from Maggie B in Year 10.

Many thanks to the amazing music staff who played and conducted on the night: Mr Forrester, Miss Barnes and Mr Kaye.
