In last Thursday’s start of term assembly, I encouraged the boys to search for the silver lining to the cloud of lockdown. In this week’s assembly I spoke about the joy and value of reading.
Christmas is coming. As we near the end of what has been a uniquely challenging term, even though this Christmas may be slightly different, it is with great joy that I write these words!
