FRIDAY 28 September 2018
Dear Parents

My message to the boys in Assembly today was to relax, recharge, appreciate all we have in our lives and enjoy a special time with family during this short holiday.

A great number of our parents have helped during this term in so many ways with lifts, in the tuckshops, at Inter-House events, with donations to charities and needy organisations, just to name a few. Thank you all for your time, kindness and care. Your help and support is incredibly important and valuable.

As we have changed to a two semester cycle there is no report this term but marks of completed tests and projects are available on your son’s profile on MyBishopsLife.

The first day next term, Tuesday 9th October, will be a full day with sport after school: U9, U12 and 13 Cricket, U10 and U11 Water polo, Tennis, U10 Athletics and Swimming.

Enjoy the holidays.

Kind regards

ROB RICHES
