5th October 2012 - Message from the Headmaster

Dear Parents

Why am I excited?

Because:
  • at least 350 former pupils, representing nine, yes nine decades of the school are returning on Saturday for a seven hour trip down memory lane.
  • two famous TV scientists, Richard Robinson and Jonathan Hare will spend all of Wednesday next week at school and share some of their love of science with Yrs 6 to 9, along with some welcome visitors from Vinehall.
  • they will also open our new Biology Laboratory on that day.
  • three history professors, leading authorities on the Norman Conquest and TV historians, will deliver lectures on Sunday 14th October, the 946th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, to A Level students from Eton, Westminster, Marlborough, Berkhampstead, Bryanston, King’s Wimbledon, King’s Ely and Battle Abbey. This is an annual BAS event organized by our excellent Head of History, Michael Ansar-Carver.
  • the Centenary History Lectures take place on Wednesday October 17th. Mr Ansar-Carver will talk on “Harold – the Lost English King” and Dr Marc Morris will talk on “The Norman Conquest” – why not come along?
  • on Monday our German exchange partners arrive from Munich to spend a week with us.
  • there will be three trips out of school next week to the theatre in London on both Monday and Thursday and to the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace.
  • there will be five sporting fixtures against other schools
  • on Friday evening it’s the Harold’s Night Disco (not quite so excited but I’ll be there!)
  • there will be 54 opportunities for your children to take part in extra-curricular activities, as there are every week!

Best wishes

Roger Clark
