Headmaster's Message
Dear Parents
We have enjoyed a wonderful week of sunny weather following the half term break, with the children settling in quickly to their school routines. All of the exciting lessons and sports events have all gone ahead and have been much enjoyed by all of the children.
I particularly enjoyed an afternoon over at Crackley Hall watching the girls and boys play cricket and rounders, showing true Crescent sportsmanship and a simple love of competing.
Building work on the new Horton Centre is now well underway and the progress has been really impressive so far. The children have all been interested to see the new and exciting contraptions coming onto the site and it is particularly interesting to see the techniques that the builders use to establish the foundations for the brickwork. I will talk quite a bit about this project at the Welcome Evening later in the term but for now progress is very promising.
In assembly earlier in the week I talked about the importance of staying safe in sun with a reminder for the children of the old slogan ‘Slip, Slap, Slop’. Thanks to Mr Egg for his special appearance. Please do send your children in with the right protection, both in the form of sun hats and sun cream.
Next week this will be particularly important on Tuesday, when we have the Upper School Sports Day over at Princethorpe College. Lots of planning has gone into this and I am sure it will be an enjoyable event, despite the absence of parents this year. We will do everything we can to provide as many action shots to keep you informed of everything that happens.
In the meantime, I wish you a happy and peaceful weekend.
Best wishes
Joe Thackway
