Senior Citizens Summer Tea Party Under the Willow Tree 2025

Body

Just before the end of term, the Charities Committees from both Byron House and Senior House came together to host a heartwarming afternoon tea for local senior citizens. Invitations were sent to nearby care homes, and we were thrilled to welcome guests who gladly accepted.

With the support of our chefs, pupils helped prepare a delicious spread of sandwiches and cakes, carefully considering dietary needs to ensure everyone could enjoy the treats. Committee members, smartly dressed in their blazers, took pride in serving food and drinks, and in sharing meaningful conversations with our guests.

I felt very lucky to chat to the guests at the tea party, because they were so wise, funny and kind.

Adding a special touch to the afternoon, the Byron House Chamber Choir and Junior Choir performed a charming concert during a break in service—an uplifting moment that was met with warm applause.
