Newsletter from the Head – Week 9
Dear Parents and Guardians
As we reach a much needed exeat, I reflect on the continued sense of camaraderie, spirit and enthusiasm as we hurtle towards the end-of-term. This time of the year brings cause for celebration, adventure and activity but also a magnificent opportunity to reflect. As our leavers say farewell and complete their final exams, they begin to recognise what an enormous impact this school has had on them and I trust they look back with pride. To those itching to leave, that is as it should be – eventually they grow out of school and if that itch turns to a frustration then our teachers have done a magnificent job in preparing them for the next step.
We are very excited to see so many of you on site in the remaining weeks with so many social, sporting and celebratory events to which you are invited. Please do read the contents of all communication carefully to ensure our myriad events are as seamless as possible.

The event will start at 7.00pm, and will be around an hour to an hour and a half long.
