Pupils sing hymns to mark a bicentenary

Chronicle Country pupils will be attending the local celebrations at St Alban’s Cathedral, which will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This is part of The National Society’s countrywide bicentenary celebrations.

Year 3 and 4 students from Sutton Lower School will be joining Alban Academy in Great Barford’s school choir at the cathedral on Tuesday.

Sutton’s head, Sarah Stevens, said: “We are creating a joint choir with Alban middle, which is one of our nearest church schools.

“Some of the songs are old fashioned and some are a bit more modern. They are singing Be Still, I the Lord of Sea and Sky and One More Step Along the World I Go.

“The children like the idea of sharing with another school.”

Church schools in the diocese of St Alban’s are John Donne Lower in Blunham, All Saints Lower in Clifton, Meppershall, Northill and Sutton lower schools, St Andrew’s Lower in Biggleswade, Caldecote Lower, Raynsford Lower in Henlow, Dunton, Roxton and Wrestlingworth lower schools and St Swithun’s Lower in Sandy.

Henlow Middle, Edward Peake Middle in Biggleswade and Alban Academy are also included.
