FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
Congratulations to the U14 Hockey side who braved the freezing conditions and reached the final (beating Ballard in the semi finals on penalties) but narrowly lost to St Edwards Cheltenham, a great effort.
Good luck to Year 11 who start their Mock exams on Monday.
I hope that Year 9 are looking forward to their Holocaust Day on Tuesday, always a thought provoking subject area.
Last night whilst checking the Study groups, there were a number of boys in the wrong groups and several who had not signed up for any activity, whilst we will always be flexible we do need to be informed of any changes to the options the boys signed up for, your help with this would be greatly appreciated.
