IMPORTANT NOTICE
FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
James Wilding led the school assembly last Monday bringing together a number of ideas, especially the importance of 'kindness', a very clear message for the boys.
We have seen the artists complete their GCSE Art Exam and I was very pleased with the standard of the work produced. Year 10 have completed their Prefect interviews and we move on to the next stage. We will be announcing the new prefects next week. On Wednesday we were very lucky to complete the school photograph in dry conditions and I await the final result. We also held a very positive meeting with Year 8 Parents last night.
I look forward to the Year 11 Final assembly next Friday and the Boat Club Dinner on Saturday (a great start to the season at Hammersmith Regatta, well done to all the competitors).
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop, The Lion and the Mouse
