FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
Well done to all the boys who travelled across to the continent over half term, all the reports I have had talk of well behaved groups who were great company and who worked hard. It was also pleasing to get the feedback from the Rowing and Sailing groups who again were focused and hardworking.
A huge thank you to all the boys who helped make our Open Evening a great success, our visitors as one spoke of how helpful, polite and informative they were.
Good luck to the cast of 'A Night at the Movies' that is showing at Norden Farm today and tomorrow and to the athletes competing over the weekend against Reading Blue Coat School and on the river at the Fours Head and Pangbourne Head.
