Recent special mentions must go to:
Luca who organised a number of parts of the well-being week

Big well done to Ben, Richard and  Ruslan who finished their GCSE's this week and the A level guys who all, bar Frank, finished today.

Ben also sang brilliantly in yesterday's lunchtime concert.

In sports tomorrow we have a narrower offering with Will in the U15Cs vs St Alban's for cricket and Lennart rowing at Marlow Regatta.

Another great week in the house!  We started with superb sunshine after the bank holiday weekend and IB exams continued whilst the 5th Form study leave and GSCE's began.

Tizian and Ben sang fantastically in assembly with the concert choir today, too.

Since our last installment, a special mention has to go to Sebastian, Dell and Zakhar who have played 3 epic matches for the U14E cricket team.

The Upper Sixth enjoyed their final event all together with a trip to a spa and a Thai takeaway!
