Over the holidays several projects were carried out. We now have three new dormitories for the youngest boys and I am thrilled with them. The boys seem to love them as well although the current lack of curtains has not been ideal. That should be completed by the end of this weekend though. The redevelopment of the courtyard in the middle of the school is very nearly complete. It really has transformed that area. I will post an updated photograph later today.
The term has started very well. On the academic side the two Eton scholars performed very well although they just missed out on an award. We heard yesterday that our Winchester candidate was safely through and the rest of the CE candidates all completed their French Listening, French Oral and Maths Listening this week.
The magnificent weather at the start of term has been perfect for cricket. There have been some good performances throughout the school with plenty of boys making good runs and taking plenty of wickets. The 1st XI were robbed of a victory on Wednesday because of the rain but will hopefully get another chance today against Brockhurst.
The athletics team have got off to a flying start. Already this term they have recorded wins against Hall Grove, Bishopsgate and Ludgrove. The senior Victor Ludorum looks set to be a very exciting competition on Sports Day.
So a busy start. Not long now until Common Entrance so lots of work to do. Updates will be much more regular from now on.
