School News
Revd April Gold visited Coventry Cathedral on Friday to give the opening prayer for the Diocesan of Coventry Multi Academy Trust Choir Concert, now in its second year. After weeks of rehearsals at their schools, over one hundred of our children performed in front of their teachers, friends and families to a packed Coventry Cathedral. Each school sang their own song, and then joined together for a beautiful and extremely powerful group performance.
Children at Dunchurch CofE Infants and Juniors attended an outdoor carol service led by the vicar to turn on the Christmas lights in the village on Sunday 30 November. The Infant School sang and performed away in a manger. The children at the Junior School acted out the nativity story.
