Church High Song

The Old School Song

Way back in 1885

They said “A fine thing this is”

In our good town of Newcastle upon Tyne

There is no school for misses

So they worked with a will at Tankerville

Till their strife was done

And they could say we’ve won

Raise our colours on high

The blue of the sky

And the dark green of the forest.

The Church High

The Church High

Always the best

And here’s why

It’s undefeatable

Quite unbeatable

So give three cheers

For the Old Church High.

Now castles four of ancient fame

Renowned in song and story

Each to a house has given its name

To pave their way to glory

So they worked with a will

At Tankerville

And their strife was done

So they could say we’ve won

And the rafters shall ring

As proudly we sing

Together in this chorus.

The Church High

The Church High

Always the best

And here’s why

It’s undefeatable

Quite unbeatable

So give three cheers

For the Old Church High.
