The Orchestral Day at the College Avenue site proved to be a great success. Many thanks to all the boys and staff involved (and the parents for being an appreciative audience).

Saturday saw us competing on the football field and on the river at Hampton, well done to all who turned out in very challenging weather conditions.

Last Wednesday it was good to see a full turn out for the Year 9 Parents Evening where we were able to discuss Option choices for Year 10, a very informative and positive meeting.

If you are in Maidenhead Town Centre tomorrow please drop in to our New Campus site stand, to show your support, it would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to seeing the Year 11 parents on the 21 February for their evening where we can ensure the final build up to the challenges of the Summer term are understood and met.

Please do not drive onto the site to drop your children in the morning, today there was almost a collision between a coach and parent, please drop off outside. Thank you for your co-operation.

And following my message to the boys from Monday's assembly:

"We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that." Ellen DeGeneres
