FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
The Year 9 Parents Evening proved to be a very positive event with good discussion over the option choices for next year. Year 11 enjoyed their trip to the Tate Modern Gallery where they (hopefully) were inspired to great heights for the coming examination.
On Tuesday I had the pleasure of accompanying Todd Lindley to the House of Lords to receive his ISA Whitbread Trophy (for outstanding academic performance) a brilliant occasion and Lord Lexden proved to be an incredibly generous host.
Good Luck to the boys in St Lucia, it should be slightly warmer there You can follow what they get up to on twitter @CCschoolsport. I look forward to seeing parents at the PTA AGM on the first Thursday after half term.
I hope you enjoy the break!
