In spite of examinations we have enjoyed a range of activities from Second Year Camps, Duke of Edinburgh and a very well attended Careers’ Convention aimed at both the Upper School and the Sixth Form. There is much to look forward to on our return with the Arts Festival, Sports Day, Endeavour, and the Swimming Gala. Most are subject, as ever, to the vagaries of the English summer weather.
