Many apologies but I'm afraid your child/children may be coming home singing Christmas carols from this week onwards!  We have started very early this year as with the help of our Governor Martin Parr, we are recording a Christmas DVD as a joint venture with the Parish.  On Monday 14th October, each  year group will record a Carol in St Joan's church. The various parish music groups will also be performing on the DVD . The following carols have been chosen for each year group. If you can bear listening to Christmas carols at home already  please could you encourage your children to sing them and learn all the words. This promises to be a very exciting project and once on sale all proceeds will be split between the Parish and the school.
