So why did we need to change the date of Jazz & Swing? Well, Mr Seymour received some thrilling news recently: the @SedberghSchool Chapel Choir have only gone and got through to the last five of @BBC Young Choir of the Year! What a fabulous achievement, and way to start 2020!

Speech Day 2021/22 contained a lovely rendition of 'A Gaelic Blessing' from Chapel Choir. But it was one final, spellbinding performance from Rosie 'Bish' that gave us something to treasure for a long time.

A special word for Mr Seymour. He has directed the Chapel Choir for nearly 20 years, and both he and all former choristers are behind this success and the momentum that has been achieved. It was also a complete privilege for the choir to sing his own, special composition today.

A little bit of history, we think, today: Miss Parker became the first female member of staff to lead in Congregational Practice. How that might not have happened yet in 498 years is beyond us, but either way it gave the school a much-needed break from the regulars!
