As we brought together our whole Foundation community — pupils, staff, parents, and Governors — the service once again provided the platform for outstanding music-making, with pupils from across each of our schools being represented fantastically by a number of different year groups as they joined forces to share their love of music.

Along with our Foundation Choir, made up of pupils from our senior schools, a significant moment came as our King Henry VIII Consort performed together for the first time at the Thanksgiving Service. The Warwick School Fanfare Team once again provided an excellent performance as we have become so accustomed to.

We also welcomed schools from the Warwick Schools Foundation Multi Academy Trust to the service for the first time. With Heads from all three schools in attendance, along with a number of MAT Executives and Trustees, we commemorated the historic occasion with the signing of a Charter that laid out the Vision and Aims of the Trust, and signified a shared commitment to improving the educational experience for young people in our community.

Beyond this, the service provided a moment to reflect on everything that our community - past and present - has achieved, and to recognise everyone who has made, and continues to make, our schools such an extraordinary force for good.
