Congratulations and Merry Christmas

By -

Congratulations to the Choir and Vocal Ensemble for some truly sublime singing in Thursday's carol service. Some of you may have missed the well-deserved huge round of applause that the congregation gave you as some students wondered back into the church to find their parents. What a fabulous way to end the term!

Have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We'll still tweet #BeaumontBedtimeListening and there will be some blog posts too.

See you in January!

Lucky you!
Every day this month, open a door to our Advent Calendar and listen to a track chosen by Mr Guinane, Ms Doan or Mr Burrett. Most tracks will be seasonal (how about a whistle stop tour through  our carols over the years?!) but we might even slip in music that we simply just love.

Wishing you a wonderful lead up to Christmas.
Mr G, Ms D and Mr B.
