On Tuesday, 5th December, the festive cheer of Wakefield Girls’ overflowed into Wakefield Cathedral during two enchanting Christmas performances.

The day began with a lunchtime concert featuring our talented A-Level Music students, open to the general public. This invaluable opportunity to perform for a large audience is an essential part of their A-Level course, allowing students to develop confidence and refine their live performance skills.

Later, the Cathedral was filled with joy as the entire school gathered for our Carol Service. With a warm welcome from The Reverend Canon Dr. Kathryn Goldsmith, the service featured heartfelt performances, prayers, readings, poetry, and carols, including:

🎤 Walking in the Air (Year 8 soloist, Elizabeth)

🎤 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Year 11 soloist, Amelia)

🎤 O’Holy Night (Year 13 soloist, Isobel)

🎵 Joy to the World

🎵 The First Nowell

Our choirs, created a magical atmosphere. The service was live-streamed, and we thank all who joined us virtually. Special thanks go to everyone who donated to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, supporting their lifesaving emergency service across Yorkshire.
