Tuesday 8 January 2019

Welcome to the first Headmaster’s Blog of 2019.  Welcome back to a new term; I hope you all had a good holiday, and Happy New Year.  

 

2019 starts with a busy week as from this week we welcome the new catering company, Cucina, who were successful in gaining the school meals contract back in November.  We look forward to see what they will be providing.

 

Yesterday the parents of the year 12 students who are attending this year’s Harvard Model United Nations Conference attended an information evening to learn more about the trip.  The trip to Harvard is a fantastic experience and provides an opportunity for the students to debate global issues on a world stage.  The trip goes in two weeks.

 

Tonight we welcome parents of year 8 students to hear about the GCSE options process.  The time has come for year 8 students to consider what they would like to study next year, and tonight’s information evening explains the detail.  Next week’s Year 8 exams are the beginnings of the process.

 

Tomorrow night is the Year 9 Parents’ Evening.  After two terms of GCSE studies it is a good point for parents to hear how their sons have progressed.  We look forward to welcoming you.  

 

Just before Christmas, Tom Rowe and Freddie Gache of Corpus Christi House were invited to attend the U15 Saracens rugby trials for their development squad just before Christmas.  I am pleased to say they have both been selected and represent two of only 13 players from Kent.  Well done boys.

 

Congratulations to Joseph Pickard of College House who has been invited to join the National Children's Brass Band.  This is an amazing achievement for him as there are only 4 soprano cornet seats available in the band. Well done Joseph.
