In keeping with social distancing, the show lacked its usual live audience, however was filmed for parents, as well as residents for two care homes in the area, who are usually invited along.

A spokesman for the school said: “It was felt important for the children to continue with this tradition, despite the current situation. Thankfully, with various COVID-19 safety measures in place and a few adjustments to the way it was organised, the performance was able to go ahead. The children thoroughly enjoyed performing and it has given the college a real sense of Christmas, which is just what was needed.”
