This half-term, we introduced a new co-curricular activity — church bell ringing!

George, Charlie, Archie and Rory have taken to the ropes to learn the art of bell ringing, which has been established in England since 1637. They are fortunate to be taught by Mrs Annie Hall, a hugely experienced ringer, along with Ms Sayers, to take them through the Art Level 1 course in Ringing, known as 'learning the ropes' which is designed to help new ringers develop their skills progressively.

After an initial familiarisation visit to the towers of St Nicholas’ and St Mary’s the boys are now having weekly lessons at St Nicholas’ Church.  This week they learnt to chime the bell and ring fully on the backstroke; something Mr Lewis got involved in, proving you are never too old to learn a new skill.
