Vice chair of the school’s governors, Liz Broomhead, said: “The underlying message of the Nativity is not lost. We are very proud to be a Church School; the children use their own personalities to showcase the story and the message of Christmas will be the underlying theme of it all.”
Church Warden, Celia Critchlow said: “It is always a pleasure to have the children with us in church. They add a special sparkle.”
