24th May 2013 - Message from the Headmaster

Dear Parents,

I meet with the Bronzes every week and look forward to sharing 20 minutes of their excellent company. Year after year, I am able to say how proud I am of the leaders in the school and this year is no exception. Do you know, however, and as so often, above all they are really “nice” young people, caring, compassionate and high achievers. The leavers gave me a Leavers Hoodie this Wednesday and I will wear it with pride. They also paid me a most wonderful compliment, which I will remember with some pride, when they met separately with the “new” Mr Clark.

The deepest pleasures and satisfactions of this job are all about your children.

David Clark has been at school this week and has really enjoyed meeting more of the teachers at the Abbey and has been really impressed with their massive enthusiasm and commitment to the job that they do. Although children are the most important people in a school, no school can be good without good teachers and it is the teachers who determine the success of the school.

I will be spending much of half term with 30 Yr9 pupils, accompanying their trip to Germany. I will enjoy their company thoroughly. I imagine there could be some impromptu rehearsals for “Joseph”, which most of them will be performing shortly after the return to school on 20th and 21st June. Have you got your tickets yet?

Best wishes for half term,
Roger Clark

PS
David Clark will be visiting on four more days next half term and then there will be at least three occasions at the start of the new term in September for you to meet the new Head.
