Dear Parents,​​

I hope that you had a lovely half term holiday and managed to travel, see family or just spend time in Switzerland. With the snow appearing on the mountains and the mornings starting to be beautifully frosty I have re-shared our winter sports programme at the bottom of the newsletter, under Ms Shibil’s piece. Please sign your children up to some of the wonderful winters sports activities that we have planned. This includes the ski touring trip for our secondary students that Mr Pearce sent information about yesterday. 

It has been a busy start to term, in the Secondary assemblies I have been talking about mental health and launching our Movember campaign and students have joyfully been sticking on some moustaches whilst our eldest children and staff have been trying to grow their own. It is great to see some parents are joining in with the campaign and we will share with you a just giving page soon so that we can start to raise as much money as we can for such a good cause. I will be launching this with the primary students next week in assembly.

On Wednesday it was lovely to see all the Halloween costumes at Primary. I managed to visit most of the classes and the costumes were brilliant. Thank you for all the effort that went into these. On Wednesday evening there was a presentation about the proposed changes to the structure of the governance of the school. A letter was sent today with a summary of the proposed changes and it is anticipated that more information will be available by the end of next week. Please do reach out to the governors directly if you have any questions about the upcoming vote – the email is [email protected].

Have a great weekend.
