To celebrate Advent, Sutton Valence School has produced its annual montage calendar with different community members featured behind each of the daily doors. Today, it was the turn of the SVS Foundation Archivist, David Pickard (Staff 1977-2001, 2009-2015), who provided a festive story for the SVS community, at a time when many of us are thinking about Christmas gifts.

Having spent nearly 25 years mastering his storytelling craft in the Geography classrooms at SVS, sit back and enjoy Mr Pickard’s allegorical reflection on the importance of what to wish for this Christmas! To watch his festive offering, along with all of the other contributions from around the School, please click on the link below.
