At the weekend we saw the first cricket fixture of the year. Two teams played, the U13 and U14, both playing and beating Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School. A great start to the season. Let us hope the weather stays fine for a long season ahead.
Today Year 9 return to normal lessons following five days of examinations - they now need to wait a short while before receiving their results. And, tonight is the Year 7 Virtual Parents’ Evening: an event that provides the first opportunity for parents to hear how their sons are doing. I am sure it will be positive.
Tomorrow we welcome Year 6 and their parents to the Year 6 Welcome Evening. We have not been able to host such an event since April 2019, so we are delighted to be able to welcome our newest Maidstonians into the school. The evening begins a series of events that contribute to our induction programme, which include our house teas in June and our Year 7 Induction Day in July.
Finally, from Icarus in the Archives, did you know in 1828, when the first electric motor was made, the school was already 279 years old and its 25th headmaster, Thomas Harrison, was appointed. One year later, in 1829, the first police force was established.
