Most of the seating downstairs is reserved for choirs and readers, so you may wish to sit upstairs in the balcony. A limited number of seats will be reserved on the ground floor for visitors who will have difficulty negotiating the stairs; please speak to the usher on arrival if you require one of these. We would advise you to arrive between 2.00pm and 2.15pm to be sure of a seat.
The service will finish at approximately 3.30pm-3.40pm, at which time students will be free to leave from the church unless you have indicated otherwise – a form will be circulated via SchoolPost in the near future to confirm these arrangements.
