During the week of 23 November we will start an Enrichment programme which will consist of a number of different activities for each grade. These have been carefully chosen and will include a range of fun activities and presentations. There will be some cost, as a number of external presenters are included, but we have endeavoured to keep these as low as possible. Whole school events such as the Championship Gala have been broken up into grade groups and in all the events we have taken into account space and social distancing. Where there are events such as the Grade 3 Celebration and Leavers’ Service which include parents, parents need to be screened before entering the venue.

The last two weeks will be a very enriching time for the boys; fun, interesting, relaxed but busy, so please do send your son to school right until the last day. We regard these two weeks as very important for our boys, not least because this has been a very difficult year and our boys have had to miss out on so much.

Enjoy the weekend.
