Junior School Christmas Concert

Centenary celebrations were wrapped up in style for the Junior School with a spectacular Christmas concert at Chester Cathedral.

The Junior School performed a musical version of Scrooge to the delight of a packed audience. Musicians from the orchestra serenaded parents and guests before the drama unfolded.

Children from across the school took part in the Dickensian tale of the miserly Scrooge, who was played with fine spirit by William Medland (J4G).  He was supported by a talented cast including Charlie Clarke (4G), Alistair Smellie (4H), Arran Fearn (4H), Lucas Arthur (4H), Roahan Ingley (4H) Erin Morgan (4G) and Anna Chadwick (4G).

Pupils from the first year, led by Mary (Lily McNamara, J1T) and Joseph (Joseph Flory, J1T) created a poignant tableau of the Nativity Scene whilst the school sang “A Child’s Prayer At Christmas” by Edmund Walters.

The choir and musicians were directed by Mrs Barbara Roberts and the play was directed by Mrs Vanessa Gibson.
