My words last week included reference to some excellent expedition work by Year 9 & 10 towards their Bronze Award DofE. It was so lovely to hear from the independent assessors collectively just how well our boys and girls worked together as they navigated through the eastern Thames Valley/Chilterns.

Year 11 signed off their formal years of school on Friday with their Celebration Assembly, led by Mrs Selzer and Mr Buckle, supported by former head John Rayer and PTA President Phyllis Avery MBE.

Kelly House teachers pose for the Victors’ photograph after this week’s official opening of the House Basketball competition - led brilliantly by Miss Lowry whose lay up skills prove second to none!
This second week back at school has been made all the more successful by the on-going fine weather, permitting almost everything we need to take place to happen, and on schedule, as planned!
Welcome back one and all to the Summer Term 2022.
This week has been fun packed with cross country for Years 7-9 and our Charity Walk taking place in unseasonably cold and snowy conditions along the Thames!
The extraordinary blossoming of activity in school may have been cunningly planned (ahem, ahem), but to have nature's support through the brilliance of sunshine provision has been a real bonus.
Our Jubilee Canopy at Junior Boys is establishing well and to complete our work for this spring, Year 10 boys and girls joined me yesterday for an extended session of tree planting in our Tiny Forest plantation.

May I take this opportunity as we close for the February half-term to thank parents and guardians so much for their careful support and ongoing communications with us at school over the past six weeks. I was able to make clear at a ‘whole school in-person assembly’ this morning that it’s been a pretty challenging time for all, most notably in house, as so many of our adults in school have been impacted by Covid positive tests. Despite all that, school has kept going well, safely and in a timely manner, activities and fixtures running and even the kitchen able to run effectively throughout!
Year 8 have been recreating Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre as part of their English studies, and we’ve seen amazing versions in cake, cardboard and Minecraft as well as full on miniature building materials! As you can see from Mrs Ging’s class team photo, the contributions have been remarkable, and as befits the type of model, particularly tasty too!
A huge well done and thank you to the whole Claires Court co...
