Headmaster’s Blog
I have awarded myself the lofty status of ‘guest runner’ in the City rat race this week. The annual IAPS Heads’ Conference this year is taking place in the QEII Centre in London, which has meant that Thursday and Friday have seen me swap my stroll across the Cathedral Green for the delights of the […]
Jeans for Genes Colouring Competition
Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising efforts for Jeans for Genes. I’m delighted to say that we raised £185! Well done! There were some great entries in the Superhero or Villain colouring competitions; it was so hard to choose a winner. But after much deliberation amongst staff, I’m delighted to be able to announce […]
European Day of Languages

That’s not to mention our full fixture list of rugby and hockey for […]
Boarding House News
This week’s Star Boarder could have been given this title for the whole first four weeks of term for being so positive and mature about her position as Senior Boarder. Alice HM has been taking her role as Senior Boarder very seriously. She has been looking after all the boarders, especially the younger and new […]
Headmaster’s Blog
Last weekend I swam from Dover to Cran aux Oeufs in France in just under 16 hours. Is a line that my friend Sam can now say. I admire him enormously for this mammoth undertaking and even more so for somehow posting several updates on his progress onto social media from the middle of La […]
Artists (Designers) of the Week
Year 7 girls have completed the K’nex version of The London Eye in Design Technology this week. Admittedly ignoring the instructions at the end to build it the way they wanted to. Excellent teamwork and problem solving, well done!
