Leaver's trip (2)

Morning on the third day.

Yesterday was amazing. We all went off to a high wire course; and I mean high! The HM can admit to feeling a certain level of trepidation at certain moments of the day. Bravado led me to attempt the most challenging course which was incredible fun but exhausting! After completing the most difficult section of the course I was utterly spent and had the humiliation of being winched back down to the ground  - much to the delight of the onlooking crowd of boys!

Yesterday evening we all enjoyed the most delicious raclette. Not a bad life!

This morning they have all gone off to the market and this afternoon it is for go-karting. Time for me to get my own back!

Leaver's trip

Arrived yesterday afternoon in France for the leavers trip. Fantastic BBQ served up by AJPL and DCS!

100% pass rate at Common Entrance - again!

I am so proud of this year's CE candidates. When the chips were down they really went to work and their results have been amazing. They have all passed into their chosen schools and a lot of them have done a great deal more than that. An astonishing 54% of the grades were A grades! I am so pleased for them and they really deserve their success.

Cricket

We had great fun last night taking on the staff from Papplewick at T20
cricket. I am please to say that we emerged victorious after some fine
performances with bat and ball.

Today the boys return to the field, this time against Brockhurst.
Their coaches have led the way; can they follow?!

Common Entrance

Common Entrance is underway. The first two papers seem to have gone
well enough and they are now doing History.

Fingers crossed!

Finished!

Small is beautiful
