Dear Parents
In the middle of an exceptionally busy week, the school and time stood still in the Abbot’s Hall, as Mr Ansar-Carver conducted his annual Remembrance Day service. This is always a very moving occasion and, after the service, pupils attached their poppies to the Honours Board in the Abbot’s private chapel, next to my office, as they always do. Thirty-three former pupils of Glengorse and
Hydenye Prep School, which merged with our school twenty years ago are remembered there.
The Scholars’ Concert this week was an equally moving occasion in different ways but also held in the majestic Abbot’s Hall. I try never to forget how fortunate we are to work in the historic buildings and the wonderful grounds of the old Abbey.
Year 7 and 8 were pleased to go to London this week to experience the delights of “The Railway Children” and our Sixth Form performing artists were also enlarging their exposure to live theatre.
Our inspectors have looked at us very thoroughly in the last few days and we look forward with cautious optimism to receiving the final report, which may not be until after Christmas.
Do come along next week to the Junior Showcase on Monday at 6pm in the Performing Arts Centre or to the FOBAS Quiz night in the library on Friday. You will be very welcome.
Best wishes, as always,
Roger Clark
