Welcome to the fifth
week of school lockdown. I hope you are all keeping well and remaining
safe. After the last few weeks of closure, talk has now begun on
when and how we may reopen in the future. Obviously we are waiting for
clarity from government, but please be reassured that when that arrives we will
consider our options and keep you all updated. Please watch this space.
This week we would
have been saying goodbye to Year 11 and wishing them well in their
up-and-coming examinations. Sadly, this cannot happen, and so instead I
have written separately to Year 11 to say that we are thinking of them at this
time. We look forward to welcoming many back in September and wish those
who are leaving MGS the best in their futures.
Preliminary work has
begun on the all-weather pitch project. Archaeologists are on site
investigating what is directly beneath the surface of the field, and will be on
site for the next few days. We wait to hear their findings before moving
on to the next stage.
Congratulations to Harvey Eldred of Year 10
who, with his family, ran 10 x 2.6km laps of
Leybourne village to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association's
Mid-Kent Branch. Harvey ran solo laps or
as a pair, and on the last lap some of the neighbours joined in to finish the
challenge with him. He had amazing support from family, friends and neighbours,
with the whole community cheering him on as he ran by each and every front
garden. He raised £1730. Well done
Harvey. If you would like to show your

And finally, thank you
still to the staff for their continued and collective efforts at this
time. It has been pleasing and humbling
to see. Thank you.
