FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
A huge thank you to all who turned up to ensure that the Boat Club Race Night was a success, especially the coaches, parents and competitors who had earlier raced at Hampton (a very long day).
It was good to catch up on the progress of the Year 7 boys at their Parent's Evening, a very useful and informative night. The reports I have from the Year 10 Art trip to the Tate were that the boys were brilliant and the day has hugely improved their understanding of the subject.
We return to the GCSE Mocks, so Year 11 need to ensure they are prepared. If parents would also remind them to upload photographs onto their yearbook page I would be very grateful. A reminder that the PTA AGM is on Wednesday 24 February, I hope to see you there.
