Karting Trip 2016

We had a great time karting last week in Milton Keynes. The boys raced in groups of 6-8 and in between had the chance to relax, play some Mario kart, cheer on the other racers and indulge in some hot pizza if they wanted. As ever, they all had a great time and it is after events such as these that the boys feel more part of the house and both deepen and grow new friendships.
It was, of course, a competitive event and the most important thing to know is that Mr Gracie came 4th!
He was unfortunately just pipped by George (3rd), Leo (2nd) and Niklas who won in one of the week's fastest times at the venue! The boys were a credit to the house and it was a trip appreciated all round!

There are a few photos below and a video at the bottom. many thanks to Jo in the 4th form who, we think you'll agree, has quite a skill with the camera!

Movember 2016

Fresh faced boys on day one
It's that time of year again where several of our boys start growing some interesting facial hair and the head master lets the rules on shaving relax for just four weeks in aid of 'Movember'. This year we have Mo Bro's Harun, Ben and Duncan representing the house in the School team.

Movember is a charity dedicated to preventing early death in men and in the 13 years it's been running they have funded more than 1,200 male health projects helping to tackle issues like prostate and testicular cancers, mental health issues and suicide. They project that by 2030 they will have reduced the number of men dying prematurely by an incredible  25%!!

The boys are working as a team to raise money in several ways, but would greatly appreciate your sponsorship. You can donate on their Movember page by clicking here.
