Carols at Huntspill Court: On Sunday, 2 December at 6.00 pm, the Cantabile Choir will be singing at Huntspill Court. They will be performing a selection of Christmas songs, but also well known carols where the audience can join in. Hot chocolate, mulled cider/wine and mince pies will be served. It should prove to be an enjoyable evening and it would be lovely to see parents there. If you are able to attend please drop a note to Mrs Nuttall, mother of Rachel, via the School Office. Further details of the event will follow.

U8 Rugby and Hockey Festival
Recently, every Year 3 girl and boy from
King’s Hall, Wellington Prep, Queen’s Junior and Taunton Prep joined together at Taunton School to play and show their skills in hockey or tag rugby. This initiative, the first of what is hoped to be a termly festival of sport was enjoyed by many parents who watched all the children play either for the school or as a mixed team. The children were awarded many stickers for effort and sportsmanship, and each school went home with a trophy to mark the occasion. A great afternoon was had by all.
