Of all the School's terms, I enjoy the Christmas Term most; it is the School's longest term but it is one filled with the energy and excitement of the first weeks with many new pupils alongside returning faces, the industry of the classroom, theatre, recital hall, and pitches, and the splendour of big, whole-School events. As I said to the pupils at House Suppers, I hope that they are able to reflect on all that they have achieved this term with pride, acknowledge what they have done well, and identify how they can develop in the future. As I write, a beautiful winter sun is shining over the Playground, heralding [hopefully] the start of three fabulous weeks of good weather and a relaxing holiday. 

The Choristers will continue to sing services through to Christmas Day, and details of service times may be found on the Cathedral Service Schedule.

I offer my very best wishes to all pupils, parents, families, and staff for a wonderful and relaxing Christmas.
