Autumn Term
7 JUNE 2021 Issue 1 : 4th September 2020
Dear Parents, I congratulate the girls on various things this week: firstly for remembering to wear full school uniform (which has made a real difference!), secondly to Years 10 and 9 for being so tidy with their PE bags in the courtyard racks, and thirdly to all girls for completing their internal examinations and assessments. It has been an intensive week, but the manner in which the girls have conducted themselves has been spectacular. Next week, of course, is Values Week! No doubt one of the highlights of the school calendar, a smorgasbord of Compassion-related activities will be available for everyone to enjoy. I couldn't possibly rehearse the ins and outs here, but you will find the programme in the bulletin. My huge thanks to Mr O'Farrell, Deacon Simon and Mrs Cawley in particular; to the staff effort, and of course, to our amazing Sixth Form. However, greatest thanks to Lucy-Kate, our Values Prefect - she is a one-woman force of nature! Prize Giving is weighing on my mind, and I appreciate that I have been somewhat silent on this point. I am waiting, however, for Monday's announcement from the PM before making a final decision as to what particular shape this will take - possibly even al fresco! Finally, tomorrow we are welcoming, in strictly controlled groups, prospective parents at our Open Day. Although it will have a very different flavour from normal, our slots have sold out! I do hope that you have a pleasant weekend. Dr Claire McShane
