Important Notices
While we appreciate that there is limited parking, please could we ask that parents and students respect our neighbours when parking at and around all our school sites. Thank you.
Nurses Note
Please ensure you use the 48 hour rule, of being clear of any sickness or diarrhoea, before returning to school. Good and frequent hand washing is really good practice.
FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
The assembly for the Year 11 leavers was very enjoyable, the input from the boys and staff ensured an memorable reflection on the last 5 years ( I will be auditioning all solo performers for next year). A huge Thank You from myself to all the Parents who worked incredibly hard to make the Summer Ball a huge success.
Next week we have the boys sitting exams, I trust they have taken advantage of the revision guides and tips they have received to ensure as stress free a week as is possible. Good luck to the boys on Cricket Tour to Devon and the scullers at the National Schools Regatta, being held for the first time at Dorney. I will certainly be at the lake helping to support our crews.
Lastly, please park with care when dropping off or picking up as we try to cause the least amount of aggravation for our neighbours.
The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. H Jackson Brown, Jr.
