Carol Service
Tuesday 16th December
We held our KS2 carol service in All Saints church and it was a wonderful evening. Each year group sang their own carol, children did readings, the choir sang and the orchestra did their first public performance.
The service started with Y6 processing from the back of church with candles which set the scene beautifully.
Glyndebourne One Voice Festival of Singing
10th December 2024
We participated in the One Voice festival of song organised by Create Music in partnership with Glyndebourne. It was very exciting to travel to the world-renowned opera house and see some of the backstage areas. We rehearsed during the day and then sang to an audience in the evening. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to sing with the Glyndebourne opera chorus and take part in such a professional event.
Civic Carol Service
The choir were asked to sing at the civic carol service at All Saints church on Thursday 5th December. They sang a beautiful carol in Spanish "Cantemos a Maria" and enjoyed listening to St Johns School choir and the brass band during the service.
Christmas Cracker
The choir sang at the "Christmas Cracker" event in Crowborough Town Centre on Friday 29th November 2024. They added to the festive atmosphere before the lights were switched on and everyone especially enjoyed our rendition of Feliz Navidad.
Opera singer visits school
As part of our participation in the One Voice festival at Glyndebourne this December, we were lucky enough to have a real opera singer visit the school. He sang in worship for the whole school and then worked with the choir on preparing their music for Glyndebourne.
Prom Praise 19th October
All Saints Church Crowborough
Our school choir were so lucky to participate in "Prom Praise Crowborough" with the All Souls orchestra and the All Saints choir on Saturday evening. They sang beautifully with such enthusiasm and confidence and enjoyed listening to the wide variety of other items in the program. There were so many lovely comments from the other musicians and members of the public after their performances. The best one being "They've got it...they've really got it...Wow!"
We were super proud of their behaviour and attitude on a very late night!
Thank you to all members of staff and parents for your support once again.
Summer Term 2024
Mr Lacey from Create Music came to talk to us and show us how brass instruments are played. We enjoyed seeing the cornet, the trumpet and the tuba and some children even tried to make a sound themselves! He is hoping to develop the brass playing at Fermor and would love more pupils to sign up for lessons.
Please click here or contact the school office for further information.
We enjoyed a fantastic violin demonstration by our violin teacher Carl Bradford during music worship on Thursday 23rd May. Some of our pupils played to the whole school and they showed great confidence.
Hopefully it has inspired some other children to take up the violin!
Spring Term 2024
Choir Prom Praise 12th March 2024
The school choir took part in the Prom Praise for schools event at the Albert Hall.
We rehearsed for many weeks and then travelled by coach to join over 2000 other children to tell the story of David through drama and song.
It was an incredible experience and we all had a fantastic day!
