Teenager in rail suicide was sent abusive message on social networking site - Telegraph
Please read this to see how careful we must be with our children's use of computers. I have said this before but certainly our boys are not old enough to be allowed to use social networking sites either at school or at home.
Somalia
I am sitting on a train on the way to Lords and reading about the tragedy on Somalia. It is so upsetting and makes me feel terrible that I am about to go and spend money having a jolly. I need to think of a way we can help. The stories and pictures are so desperate. No child or adult for that matter should have to live through that.

Wonderful weekend
What a great weekend. I do not remember a busier one but it went so well and was such a success.
On Saturday evening, after fixtures against Horris Hill, we had our annual art exhibition and summer concert. The standard of both was fantastic and it was so good to see so many parents at these events.
Sunday morning was charity day and we were blessed with the most wonderful weather. Pictures from the fair will go up on the website later today.
In the afternoon the Fathers took on the boys at cricket. In a very close game the boys won with one over to spare.
We then had our last Sunday evening chapel of the term, attended by masses of parents, and we were fortunate to have Mr Gareth Doodes, headmaster of Milton Abbey to come and preach. Both boys and parents thoroughly enjoyed his sermon on talents.

Leavers' trip (4)
Go-karting was fantastic. Some thrills and spills and yes, in case you were wondering, the staff did show the boys how it is done - well done AJPL!
Leaver's trip (2)
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!
