Christmas at Winston

The Winston Choir

Our new school choir was asked to sing carols at Barclay's Bank, in Woking.  Mr Drake and several other members of staff took the students along on Friday morning, to share with our community some music for Christmas.  We would like to thank the staff of Barclay's Bank for inviting us and for the hospitality shown during the visit.  I am sure that the members of the public will have enjoyed the performance as much as our students enjoyed singing.

 THE CAROL SERVICE

 For the second year running Pete Matthews of St John's Church welcomed us to celebrate Christmas with a traditional service of carols and readings.  Our students were central and produced the complex music, sang carols and presented passages telling the story of the birth of Christ.  Thank you to Mr Donaldson, Mr Drake, Miss Ashworth and Mr Jolly for ensuring that we had an opportunity to come together, to share, to reflect and to celebrate at this time of year.  I was delighted that Linda Kemeny, County Councillor (Cabinet Member for Schools and Learning) and David Barter, Chair of Governors, along with a number of other governors were able to share this experience with us.  I hope that you will consider joining us next year.

Christmas Boxes

As part of the work that our students do to support charities, staff and students have collected non-perishable items to be distributed to those in need this Christmas.  The collection was organised by Mrs Taylor, the Headteacher's PA, on behalf of the Woking Lions.  Thank you to eveyone who contributed.
