FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
The Fireworks last Saturday proved to be a great success despite the rain in the middle of the event, my thanks to all the boys, staff and parents who helped on the day to entertain, feed and generally run the show. Well done.
The year 10 Parents Evening proved to be very useful and informative, it was good to see a very positive turn out.
Half term approaches, however we are as busy as ever with Sailing, Modern Foreign Language and Rowing trips all running, good luck to all involved.
The first week back sees our Open Evening event, my thanks to all the boys who will be helping us on the night, letters will be sent to the pupils concerned.
I hope you can attend the Sixth Form and Senior School production " A Night at the Movies" showing at Norden Farm - more details below.
I hope all have a peaceful and enjoyable break.
