Dear Parents
We have had a tremendous couple of weeks with which to finish the term. Whilst there have been the lovely Advent, Nativity and Carol services to prepare us for Christmas, we have also managed to maintain a high level of work, right up until the end of term. Clearly, our youngest pupils have found it tough going from time to time, but across the College I have been delighted at the way in which there has been so much activity. We have had House plays, House matches, concerts and celebrations of one sort and another. It has been an exceptionally good, high energy, end to the term.
Yours sincerely
