Dear Parents
If you have never been to a whole school disco and seen the House Masters and Mistresses dancing at 08.45, you have missed a treat. As we enter half-term, it is “Mufti-Day”. Inspired by the request of one pupil in Year 13, Oliver Rowlatt, we have all been asked to come to school in casual clothes, wear something yellow and donate £2 to St Michael’s Hospice. Cakes will be sold at break and prefects will clean pupils’ shoes. On top of organising this special fund raising day, Oliver Rowlatt, Sam Bunday and Tom Collins are all going to
attempt the arduous “3 Peaks Challenge” in April. These young men will attempt to climb the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales (Scafell Pike 978 metres, Ben Nevis 1344 metres and Snowden 1085) in a 24 hour period. The money they raise by doing this will go to help support the vitally important work that St Michael’s Hospice do within our community. One of their staff will be speaking to the school in the second half of term.
After all the excitement of the final day, half-term offers our
examination candidates an opportunity to revise and consolidate. Parents of pupils in year 11 – 13, please help your children keep focussed on their academic work. There are just 8 teaching weeks left till the public exams start and 5 weeks available for revision.
Have a good break!
Best wishes
Roger Clark
Headmaster
