FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
Another busy and exciting week has come to a close, bringing about success and unfortunately some disappointment. Well done the Micromouse team who competed for the first time in Birmingham and especially Matthew Hurst who gained third place in the Drag Race. Our B crew in the Henley Royal Regatta Qualifiers unfortunately had an equipment breakage 400 metres into the race and could not complete the course, whilst our A crew qualified and came second to Marlow in their first race. All did extremely well.
On Monday night the Music Concert was a great success, the performers continue to impress. Results of the House Music competition will be announced next week. Year 8 all performed well at their Drama Festival last night. Today sees our athletes competing first in the Knight Frank finals and then at our Sports Day. We continue to be busy and look forward next week to our various activities.
Those who snore always fall asleep first.
