This has been a fantastic week in the house!  Most importantly, our community has grown to include M in the 4th Form who has proved a popular, friendly addition.

The sunshine has also been amazing and meant that there has been the return of some great garden football sessions in the evening and a fantastic fire on Thursday (photos below).

In music, Ben, James, and Marcus have been preparing for tonight's big bands concert and played superbly in assembly today.

Edwin also got a shout out in assembly for his efforts at the model UN.

Lennart is returning late as he has been pushing hard for German rowing selection; we hope it has gone well.

Kabi has also been continuing training after his county hockey selection.
