Ripon Cathedral has played host to Ashville College’s annual Advent Service, which was attended by more than 800 pupils, teachers, parents and governors.
The event, one of the highlights of the independent school’s festive calendar, featured a host of traditional carols and other less well known compositions performed by the Ashville Singers, Elmfield Singers and Junior Choir, plus readings by College Head Rhiannon Wilkinson, Chair of Governors Jamie Search, and Head pupils from both the Senior and Prep Schools.
The service – which was led by Canon Wendy Wilby, mother of Ashville’s Deputy Head (Co-Curricular), Anna Wilby, who conducted the musicians and singers, and arranged one of the songs – ended with a rousing rendition of ‘O Come, all ye Faithful’.
