It was lovely to meet all the New Boys on Wednesday and they are settling in quickly (always a good sign)and I spoke with the school at assembly on Thursday about the need to react to all opportunities that come their way! A thank you to all who have been very kind wishing me well for next year in my retirement.

I look forward to seeing parents at the Rugby Morning tomorrow and I would recommend the Resilience talks next week (details below). Years 7 have their Team Building Event next Friday at Cliveden and a reminder that Year 8 have their residential event at Lulworth / Osmington Bay leaving on the 17 September and they will be back the day before our Speech day on the 20 September.
