School Fund Request

At a recent funding meeting in School several parents had reported that they had not seen the request for School Fund for the academic year 2016-17.  The request went out in a previous email.

The request is for £5 a month or £60 a year per student.  This can be paid by Parent Pay or by standing order.

Currently, we have received £5,216 which is very short of the £49,200 we could expect if everyone made their contribution.  As you can imagine this means that we cannot do some of the things that we have planned in order to benefit your daughters/sons.  I would be very grateful if parents would pay the amount indicated as this really would help in enhancing the curriculum and premises.

No doubt, parents are aware that there is a funding crisis in education and we at the school are working hard to provide the very best education for students in our care.

International Evening

What a fantastic celebration of our different cultures last night!  I was delighted to see so many students taking part showing off their linguistic skills.  I wish to thank Isobel, Harrison, Charlotte and Emily for organising such a fantastic evening.

Thank you also to the parents for their support, especially as the students were collecting money for the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders).  I will let you know in my next email how much was collected.
