Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

The Senior School Carol Service was a wonderful way to end the term and once again, our choirs ETS (Eric Thiman Singers) and Chamber Choir gave stunning performances of anthems, both old and new. The processional carol, in traditional form, featured Second Year Henry B singing the solo verse of Once In Royal David’s City. This year, the service was attended by the Second Year who contributed to the service with their Anthem, ‘Torches’- a rousing and powerful piece. Uplifting descants and triumphant organ accompaniment from Mr Hall made this service a wonderful start to the Christmas holidays.

The service of nine lessons and carols was well attended by many parents, staff and friends of both the Prep and Senior Schools. This year the service was held at the beautiful St. John’s Church in Caterham which provided us with the space needed to accommodate both choirs and congregation.

Donations from the retiring collection were generous and will go towards the church’s Accessibility Fund- a worthy and valuable cause. We are indebted to St. John’s for their warm welcome and facilities.
