This week is our 'Long Leave' which is what we call our half term. Most schools had their half term two weeks ago but we have ours this week because the top year have just finished their Common Entrance exams. I have always felt that it would not be a good idea to send the boys home the week before their exams. They need to know that their teachers are on hand to help them and the sense of camaraderie as they prepare together certainly spurs them on. It also means that they can completely relax once they get to Long Leave knowing that the exams are behind them.
