Headteacher at the school in North Road, Adam Pettitt, said: “This is a truly ecumenical community event.
"The driving force behind the idea was, and continues to be, the Reverend Kunle Ayodeji and the congregation of St Michael’s, Highgate, but Highgate School is proud to play host once again to a moving occasion in which people of all faiths and none, are equally and universally welcome.”
