A Fairy Tale Christmas Carol Service!

Christmas is celebrated in style at Slindon College, with our beautiful National Trust building dazzling with festive cheer, courtesy of our fabulous decorations prepared in part by our own Housekeeping Team. 

Grimm Fairy Tales at St. Mary's Church, Slindon

A huge congratulations to the cast of our traditional Christmas Carol Service (with a twist) this year, who led a fun-filled final morning at nearby St. Mary's Church, Slindon with our local vicar, Reverend Peter Dyson.

Visitors enjoyed traditional, and some non-traditional carols with religious readings and lessons provided by our Senior Pupil Team, Austin (Head Boy) with prefects Fraser (Richmond House), Jago (Cowdray House), Matthew (Sussex House) and Arthur (Norfolk House).

Freddie (KS4) beautifully narrated two classic fairy tales: 'The Old Man and the Christmas Turkey' and 'The Elves and the Shoemaker.' Lead characters this year also included Harry (KS3), William (KS3), Davi (KS3), Freddie (KS3) and Archie (KS4).

The event was written and directed by Mr Bentley-Angell (Head of Performing Arts) supported by his team Mrs Seaby (Music) and Mrs Johnson. There was also a staff choir, with Mrs Miles (Assistant Head Teacher) and Mr Burbidge (Head of DT) on support.

Competition Winners

Our English poetry prize this year went to Matthew (KS4) who also performed his terrific piece in the church. Our Christmas cake competition was won by Adam (KS4). The cake can be seen on our social media pages.
