A festive season filled with celebration

December 2024 saw a wonderfully festive end to the autumn term, with the last few weeks filled with joyful activities and events to celebrate the season. The happiness and wellbeing of our students remained at the heart of every event, ensuring a truly enchanting experience for all.

Families and friends enjoyed the magic of our Christmas productions, with all Prep children, from Kindergarten through to Prep VI, taking part and embracing their opportunity to shine. Meanwhile, our Senior Vocal Group spread seasonal cheer through performances in the community, raising funds for Wood St Mission.

To further celebrate the season, families were invited to share in the Christmas story at our annual Prep and Senior Carol Services at St Mark’s Church. Students also experienced the wonder of the festive period with theatre trips, while our youngest pupils enjoyed a special visit to Santa’s Grotto, where they were delighted to meet some of Father Christmas’ special friends.

In the spirit of giving, our whole school Christmas Jumper Day raised an impressive £370 for Save The Children – a fantastic contribution to a very worthy cause.

The festivities concluded with the much-anticipated Christmas Talent Show, organised by our amazing Sixth Form team. This year’s show featured incredible performances and provided a fitting end to an inspiring term. Congratulations to winners Oliver, Jack, and Tobias & Gabriel for their standout performances.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who played a role in making this festive season such a joyous time for our school community.
