PUPILS from St Bede’s Catholic Middle School (Academy) were delighted to be invited to sing carols to bring some festive cheer to patients at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch on Friday, December 12.

The Rev David Ryan, the hospital's chaplain, and Bob Conner co-ordinated the event with Rowena Eastwood, the head of music at St Bede’s.

A school spokesman said: "The patients and performers alike were moved and thoroughly enjoyed the occasion."
