Christmas is a busy time at Great Bardfield Primary School; the start of which is signified in early December when the whole school walks up through the village to the Town Hall to watch the Pantomime. This Christmas, our younger children made us proud with a fantastic and seamless Nativity performance, while our KS2 children wowed us with their singing during the Carol Concert at St. Mary’s Church.

We hosted our ‘Carols and Mince Pies’ event for senior members of the community, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Additional Christmas enrichment activities in December included making Christingles at the church, Shop ‘til You Drop, writing letters to Father Christmas, festive parties, and plenty of elf-inspired fun. These activities always leave us with some very excited children—and some very tired staff—by the end of the term!
