Dear Parents

1.30pm and oh the sinful pleasures of school lunch! Rare beef salad and Tiramasu on a Friday – calorific overkill but so tasty! Catering at the Abbey just keeps on getting better and this happy eater carries the evidence to prove it. My diet always begins tomorrow.

You will read of the successes of the last week, as the term spins madly towards its crescendo.

Mr Mercer’s Activity Week was a fabulous educational opportunity for Yr 7-9 to think outside the confines of the regular curriculum. The Junior Dance and Drama evening, with its large audience proved that in the area of performing arts we are as strong at the lower ends of the school as we are at the top.

And then the concert on Saturday evening was a triumph and the culmination of seven years hard work by Mr Langridge and his team.
Not a day will go by next week which does not offer something special to our students. Do come along to the Art exhibition in the library, open each evening next week 6pm - 8pm.

Best wishes

Roger Clark

Dear Parents

The second half of term offers several opportunities for you to join in and attend a range of events. Among these will be the Family Fun Day. This is a social get-together to celebrate the centenary and I do hope that lots and lots of you will come along with your children and join in. There is such a thing as a free lunch!

Other events include our Centenary Concert and the Dads v Lads cricket match. All tickets for the Summer Ball have already been sold, so we know that this will be well-supported and then of course there is Speech Day.

There is a special joint Sports Day on Tuesday 3rd July at the Abbey with Prep School athletes joining in with their senior colleagues.

I hope that you all have a very good half-term.

With my best wishes

Roger Clark
