We celebrated the end of term with three special Christmas services this week.
The children from St Peter’s 2-8 gathered in the St Peter’s School Chapel for their Christingle Service on Wednesday 15 December, a wonderful way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. The service included popular Christmas carols, including a candlelit rendition of ‘Away in a Manger’. The children sang beautifully and held their candles very carefully throughout the service.
On Thursday 16 December children from St Peter’s 8-13 gathered for their Carol Service in York Minster. This was the first time that the school’s Carol Service has been held in the Minster since the school became the Choir School for York Minster in September 2020. The choristers sang at the service alongside other children from the St Peter’s 8-13 Chapel Choir.
Finally, St Peter’s 13-18 celebrated the end of term with their traditional Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in York Minster on Friday 17 December. The service was cancelled last year due to COVID-19 restrictions, so this year’s service was particularly poignant and a welcome opportunity to celebrate the school’s achievements after another challenging year.
