Mistake, This piece is in neoclassical style as we got given a past paper for this piece saying how it outlined the neoclassical style!

hmmmm....well i'm not quite sure. Neo-classical is one of the elements Stravinsky used within this piece. But the notes form the offical edexcel website said "The style of the piece defines easy classification, as it contains elements of Baroque, jazz & trad Russian church music features, synthesised with other 20th century elemnts in a purely Stravinsky manner."
