The pleasure/pain theory, the ying/yang concept, and the promise of jam tomorrow are fairly […]
Staff Appointments
Head of Upper Years Mrs Salter has decided that, now that her hands are a little fuller than before she went on maternity leave (!), she would like to step down from her Head of Upper Years role. Polly has done a terrific job in this key pastoral role, building it from its conception in […]
