CLOSE COMMUNITY EVENTS
A Warm Welcome As we enter the final term of this academic year, there are numerous good news stories from Dean Close: Sporting successes, university scholarships gained and high quality musical and dramatic performances, to list but a few. We are also pleased to see more and more people from across the School Community meeting up and coming together, marking a number of occasions during Lent Term including the inaugural Close Community Clay Pigeon Shoot and supporting the boys at Rosslyn Park Rugby Sevens. The 130th Anniversary of the School is fast approaching and it is a great time to be part of the Close Community. We are looking forward to the future and are in the early stages of planning exciting new projects and developments for the School. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dean Close at one of the many events coming up this Trinity Term.
Mr Bradley Salisbury Headmaster Dean Close School
