The event, one of the highlights of Ashville College’s festive calendar, featured a host of traditional carols and other less well-known compositions performed by the school’s choirs, along with readings by pupils, staff and governors.
Founded in 1877, Ashville College is an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged from two to 18.
Here is a selection of photos taken by photographer Gerard Binks.
