I hope that all enjoyed the half term holiday, personally being in Swansea when the earthquake struck was definitely a new experience.

It was good to see so many parents at the Year 11 evening, a very positive and constructive event as we prepare the boys for the challenges of the summer.

Congratulations to all the boys who took part in the Maths Challenge on Thursday.

Next week we have Study Skills sessions for Year 7 on Monday and Year 8 on Wednesday.

On Tuesday Year 9 have a visiting author and Year 8 are visiting the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, looking at the weather please ensure that they have a suitable coat with them.

Julie Freak, one of our Laboratory Assistants, is having a Cake Sale on Thursday break time, to raise money for her Women V Cancer Windsor to Buckingham Palace return, Night Bike Ride. So please ensure you bring some money in for cakes.
