Home > STAHS carol service brings festive cheer to St Albans Cathedral
Date Posted: Thursday 18 December 2025

The STAHS community came together for a wonderful carol service in St Albans Cathedral last Tuesday.

Our musicians impressed a congregation of fellow students, staff,  parents, alumni and governors with their professionalism and focus, and our student readers read with clarity and confidence.

The annual Service of Nine Lessons and Carols featured many outstanding solos, which began with Milly N from Year 13’s stunning rendition of the first verse of Once in Royal David’s City, delivered from the organ loft.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our collection, which this year was in support of Herts Young Homeless.

An audience sits in pews, and religious statues are displayed on the ornate altar behind the choir.
