Christmas at Cobham

It was Christmas, but not as we know it at Cobham Hall this year. We certainly missed inviting Parents, Guardians and friends of the School in to share the festivities, with the Round Square Christmas Fair, Carols by Candlelight and our Carol Service all cancelled.

Yet we still managed to maintain the festive spirit. From Mrs Bonner organising a Christmas food drive for One Big Family Medway, to Christmas Jumper Day, our community yet again adapted to the circumstances in which we found ourselves.

Florence, Year 9, designed a wonderful Gingerbread Cobham Hall for this year’s Christmas Card, which was voted as the entry for Tutor Group LKW and went on to win the competition.

Christmas Dinner become a lunch time affair, with the Catering Team still providing an excellent feast for each Year Group, and with decorations and Christmas music.

Laboratory Technician Mrs Howard encouraged students to create a new Chemical Element - won by Liz (Year 8) with Ho-Ho-Holium - as well as showing Years 7 and 9 how to create Crystal Tree Decorations for her Chemistree! Mrs Howard also encouraged staff to band together with Colour Week, all wearing the same chosen colour each day.

The Student Leadership Team wanted to ensure the last day of term was festive despite the lack of a Carol Service and so organised festive activities and compiled a very merry video, with each Year Group taking part. The video can be seen on our YouTube Channel.

We hope we can enjoy our usual events again in 2021!
