The choir was invited to take part in a very special memorial service at Bondgate Church on behalf of the cooperative funeral service. This was a beautiful service and the choir performed two songs whilst the congregation wrote messages of remembrance for their loved ones and lit candles. Children were praised for their performance, behaviour and attitude throughout the event and the staff could not be prouder of how they represented our school. See below for some of the positive comments they received:
“The choir made the service for me.”
“The service was lovely as always but having the children’s choir made a big difference.”
“I’m a governor at Reid Street, it was great to see the children here.”
“We only came out in the cold because we knew Reid Street Choir was going to be here.”
“We live near the school, we went to Reid Street, our kids went to Reid Street and the choir just made the night for us.”
“The children’s choir was a lovely touch, they made it so Christmassy and made me feel emotional.”
“Thank you Julie Guest and the lovely kids from Reid Street School, it was a wonderful night.”
A huge well done to the choir!

READING VOLUNTEERS
Come and join our team!
We are very lucky to have a dedicated team of reading volunteers who come into school on a weekly basis to listen to pupils read.
Come and join our team!
We are very lucky to have a dedicated team of reading volunteers who come into school on a weekly basis to listen to pupils read.
Our volunteers provide valuable one to one support to pupils which benefits their reading massively. The more pupils read, the more progress they make and the more confident they become.
Pupils really enjoy this individual reading time and our volunteers find it hugely rewarding too. So if you can spare an hour or two once a week please call into the office for more details or e-mail admin@reidstreet.darlington.sch.uk
We will be holding a training session for reading volunteers on Monday 10th December from 1.30 – 2.30. If you are interested in attending please let the office know.
If you cannot attend the training, but would like to volunteer as a reader in school, please call in to the office.
