Focus on the Positive

 Celebrating Our Unsung Heroes in Year 9


As the term draws to a close and the Christmas spirit grows, it's an important time to recognise our students and their positive progression. 

This morning the Year 9 team held a celebration breakfast for some of our students that have stood out to form tutors so far, this academic year and have been recognised for their positive attributions - 3 members from each form group were nominated! 

Students enjoyed some breakfast, hot chocolate and listening to some Christmas music, whilst catching up with the year team and friends.

We are immensely proud of the year group and are excited to see what's in store for them in the new year! 

Thank you to all our young people, who make the Winston Churchill School such a great place to be!

Merry Christmas! 

The Year 9 Team






Epworth Choir Concert at The St Mary of Bethany Church

On Wednesday 11th December, the Winston Churchill School Music Department were invited to bring a group of musicians to perform at Epworth Choir’s Christmas concert at The St Mary of Bethany Church in Woking. We decided to form a Woodwind Group Flutes: Susanna, Karis and Miss Shlackman Clarinets: Alessia and Matthew and Mrs Antony, Saxophones: Izzy and Theo. Milo provided jazzy accompaniment on the drum kit! After only a few rehearsals, we were ready to perform.

We arrived at the church to Epworth Choir warming up and rehearsing as we set ourselves up.

The concert opened with a few songs performed by the choir, some congregation carols and then it was our turn to perform. The group played brilliantly with members of the audience commenting on how ‘professional’ we were and how we had a ‘superb sound’.

A special shoutout to Milo who stepped up to do some last minute page turning for the pianist at the end!

Students were thanked for playing and received a box of chocolates.

We even managed to catch up with ex Winston Music Captains students Emily and Josh who were watching the concert and are still enjoying their music!
