The joyful sounds of the Harvest hymn, 'Combine Harvester', filled the hall as the children celebrated this year’s charitable giving at St John’s in our Byron House special service. The food donations came flooding in and after the services the goods were delivered to the Cambridge Food Bank, a local charity, who will redistribute to various voluntary and charitable groups throughout East Anglia. 10,185 three-day emergency food supplies were given to people in crisis by the charity in 2020. The monetary gifts will be sent to a charity chosen by the children in the Charity Committee. 

The Sixth Form performed C.S. Lewis’ famous children’s classic tale, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (six months after originally planned due to Covid restrictions) with two nights of mesmerising performances in front of a captivated audience. In this spellbound landscape, filled with creatures of myth and fable, the evacuees face temptation and fear, but learn deep lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom that help them grow in spirit and prepare them for life in our world. The music score was composed specifically by our Senior House music teacher to aide the choreography of a real-life wardrobe, trees and an impressive fight scene and the feel of the play as a whole.
