Cathedral School children are encouraged to come to the Cathedral Crib Service at 4pm on Christmas Eve and to dress up as a Shepherd, Wise Man/Woman or Angel and join in with the story as it is told through readings, carols and actions. Do come along with your family, friends and neighbours. The service will last about 45 minutes.
Everyone is very welcome!

[box title="Meeting with TFL regarding the Borough High Street Consultation" color="#0D83DD"]
Mr Scott and Father Michael, chair of governors, met with two representatives from TFL to discuss the school's concerns.
TFL are proposing changes to Borough High Street at the junction with Marshalsea Road which we believe will greatly increase the volume of traffic using Redcross Way. Our concerns about air & noise pollution, and pedestrian safety were discussed, and well as questioning the supposed benefits to the community.
In the meeting, they said that they had received a high number of responses in the consultation process. Thank you to the parents who took part in the consultation.
We will let you know when we have further information.

[box title="Christmas Fair" color="#0D83DD"]
A huge thank you to all who organised and supported this year’s Christmas Fair. It was a tremendous success and the children really enjoyed it.
It was extremely well supported in terms of attendance, generosity of donations and number of stalls, and both the school and the event organisers are very grateful for this enthusiasm. Also, thanks to the children in the choir who sang beautifully at the event.
The event raised £1481 which is a fantastic amount and will be used for theatre experiences across the school. Particular thanks to Sara, Sam, Ali, Lise, Kate, Marine, Magda, Giota, Polly and Shaida, and all the parents that came and ran a stall or helped set up. It was a wonderful community event.

[box title="Service of Light" color="#0D83DD"]
Nine children from Cathedral School were invited to take part in a brief service of light last Wednesday at Southwark Cathedral. The special service took place in the choir and was attended by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. The children led the prayers and lit candles.
The Prince and the Duchess were accompanied by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Justin Welby.
We were so proud of the children who took part in the service and represented the school well.
