19 August 2016 – The third term has struck with a vengeance in its demands on the Saints’ Chapel Choir, but, not surprisingly, under the leadership of the indefatigable Clive Mott, Head Chorister Leonard Jennings, and organist Penny Sparks they have risen to every challenge and remain in popular demand.

Cultural activities at St Andrew’s School are well entrenched. Our Junior Choir has established a solid tradition while our Chapel Choir performs in the school chapel, in local churches and at various functions. One of the highlights on the school programme is the annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. This event is an opportunity for the school community to gather and worship God while focusing on the real meaning of Christmas.
