KING'S BRUTON H EADLINES Easter Term 2021
Welcome to the Headlines at the end of this unusual but busy term. I thoroughly enjoyed dropping in to many different remote lessons during lockdown, and I was impressed with the positivity of the pupils and the professionalism of the teachers throughout. The King's Spirit was a weekly highlight for many across the King's community, and I was particularly delighted that so many Old Brutonians contributed with memories, anecdotes and old photographs. It was wonderful to welcome pupils and staff back in to school on March 8th and restart more normal school life. The Online Inter-House Music Competition has now been complemented by live Inter-House Chess and Cross Country, while we all hope that the summer term will be busier than ever. Work is nearly completed on restructuring Wellesley and work will start over Easter on Lyon to increase capacity for boys. Please do make use of the excellent interactive links throughout this edition of the Headlines, so as to give you an even better picture of what makes King's Bruton such a dynamic school community. Best wishes for a safe and relaxing Easter. New House Ensemble Inside Out Michael Sweeney

The Online Inter-House Music Festival was a great success with impressive entries coming in from across the Houses. Our esteemed adjudicator was Lt Gen (Ret’d) Anthony Palmer CB CBE, a former Senior Warden at King's and an excellent musician. 1st New House, 2nd Arion House and 3rd Priory House.
Unboxing Easter - Chapel videos concluded this term with pupils thinking through the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Pupils enjoyed the Inter-House Cross Country. This year, the course featured a brand new water jump.
