Christmas is celebrated in style at Slindon College, with our beautiful National Trust building dazzling with festive cheer, courtesy of our fabulous decorations prepared in part by our own Housekeeping Team. 

The Polar Express at St. Mary's Church, Slindon

A huge congratulations to the cast of our traditional Christmas Carol Service (with a twist) this year, who led a fun-filled final morning at nearby St. Mary's Church, Slindon with our local vicar, Reverend Peter Dyson.

Visitors enjoyed traditional, and some non-traditional carols with religious readings and lessons provided by our Senior Pupil Team, Alistair R. (Head Boy) with prefects Alfie W. (Richmond House), Bert G. (Cowdray House), Toby L. (Sussex House) and Freddie T. (Norfolk House).

Hopping aboard for the Performing Arts element of the morning were 13 members from the cast of 'The Polar Express' with Hayden S. (KS3) in the lead role, and there was also a surprise appearance from Father Christmas himself! 

The event was directed by Mr Bentley (Head of Performing Arts) with his team Mrs Seaby (Music) and Mrs Johnson (Choreography). The set was designed by Mr Flint (LSA) and Mrs Lucas (Head of Prep) with technical duties by Miss Stead (ICT).

Competition Winners

Our English poetry prize this year went to Declan L. (KS4) who also performed his terrific piece in the church. Our Christmas cake competition was won by George T. (KS5) who based his intricate cake design on our Polar Express theme! Well done to both!

Christmas Fair at the College

We rounded the term off with a fantastic Christmas Fair to raise money for our House charities, supported by our brilliant FOSC with crafts, games and prizes to be won! 

Mrs Vlahodimou (Headteacher) said:

"I would like to thank all of our parents, carers, pupils and staff for contributing to a wonderful final day of term. I never fail to be impressed by the talent on display. A very merry Christmas to you all"
