Schools across the district will be holding their Christmas concerts, nativities and shows this week – tissues at the ready!

Whether they're front and centre as Mary or Joseph or a proud singing angel, all our little ones are the star of the nativity and school Christmas shows in their very own way.

We're taking a stroll down memory lane to help bring a little festive spirit and taking a look back at school nativity plays from across the district across the noughties.

Can you spot any familiar faces?
