The boys have made a great start to the year and as I write have just finished a 30 minute game of Lower School man hunt with all the year 7 and 8s mixing brilliantly. A few pieces of information for you below; any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
- The academic programme is now in full swing and the workload will begin to increase. Prep time this week has been slightly too noisy and the boys will need to ensure that they make maximum use of this time.
- I've been impressed with their organisation and room tidiness and I hope this continues throughout the year! It is worth noting, for year 8 parents, that on Thursdays the boys have P.E and Major Games on the same morning and this requires different kit. The boys know which kit is needed but it may take a little extra planning.
- There is a Chapel service this Sunday to which you are all most welcome. The service begins at 19:30 in the church but refreshments will be served in the Great Hall from 18:30. The dress is smart casual for parents and boys, it would be lovely to see you there.
- The Lower School will have their House trip on Friday 24th September to the Coral Reef Water park. The cost of this trip will be £16 per person and this amount will be added to the end of term bill. Boys should be dropped off at normal time (8:00) and should be collected at 16:00. Those boys who would usually be on the bus will also need to be collected at 16:00 as the bus service will only be operating in the morning. If you have any questions regarding the trip or do not wish your son to attend please contact me.
- I'd like to apologise for any confusion regarding drop off and pick up. Can you all please use the turning circle at the top of the main drive. I will walk the boys over on Monday so they are all clear where it is.
The major sports this term will be rugby and football. I understand you have all been made aware that a number of rugby matches will be played on Saturday afternoons this term and ,if selected, the boys will be expected to play. The first half of term fixtures are below. Please note a number of football fixtures should soon be added once times and venues are arranged:
