Friday Celebration and start of term update 13/1/17

Its been a really good start to term with boys getting straight down to business. its great seeing them arrive back refreshed and raring to go. Even those going into exams have ahd a smile on their face and the atmosphere around them has been productive. Today also saw the arrival of snow whilst we were in boarders singing but unfortunately most of the cover was gone by the end of the school day.

During this week Jo did a fantastic job filming the play 'Topcat' at the theatre which had a special appearance from two of our chairs! On Thursday Ben.W played the piano terrifically in the music scholars concert. Ben,Gabe and Dan.R all played cup hockey games with Dan putting in an excellent performance in the U15 victory according to Mr Herring. The basketball team won by a mere 82-18 which included Nik's debut for the team as well as Harun and Simon. Ben.k also has a call up to play his 3rd game for Northampton Saints in the U18 league this weekend.
Alex.S also had his first medical interview today which we are sure he nailed. The big academic news this week though was that Harry and Luke were awarded offers to go to Cambridge - massive achievements!


In teams tomorrow are:
Hockey - U15A - Dan, 1sts - Gabe, U14C - Divine, U14D - Jo
Football - 3rds: Leo, John, Sasha.K and Hodges, 4th: Nihat, Sasha.P, J.lo and Simon, U16B - Stephen and Dan.s, U15A - Andrew, U15B - Ben.W, Tizian and Alikhan.Y

On Sunday Lennart and Arthur are racing in the J16A 4 man boat in Bedford and we hope some of the lads will be down to watch them.

In merits this week the following were awarded:
1: Ruslan, Dan.R, Arthur, Henry, Luke
4: Divine, Kostya
7: Jason which makes him king of merits, not for the first time!
