We were delighted to welcome our year 7 parents and carers into school this morning for a very special Year 7 Advent Service. Led by Mrs Parkinson, Head of Year 7, and Chaplain Andy, the service featured worship, scripture readings, an entertaining drama piece created by pupils who attend our school drama club, our school choir and prayer. It sounded wonderful when our year 7 school community, comprising of year 7 form tutors, staff, year 7 pupils, parents and carers all joined in with the hymns Shine Jesus Shine and Joy to the World.
Following the service, parents and carers had the opportunity to tour the school with their children, followed by a drink and mince pie in the chapel. What a lovely way to shine God's light at the start of the season of Advent.
Thank you to Mrs Parkinson, Chaplain Andy, Miss Sherwood and Miss Donnelly for organising the service.
