Dear Parents, Since my update of last week, I wanted to bring you up to speed on where we are as a school on the evolving novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation: The UK Chief Medical Officers have raised the risk to the UK from low to moderate. In light of this, we have now formally established…
Grandparent’s Tea
I recall the expression that God couldn’t be everywhere so he made Grandparents. This was most certainly the case for those that I had the honour of meeting on Tuesday when they visited the School. It was a great privilege for me to take the opportunity to recognise the very positive influence they have on…
Headmaster’s Notes: Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
This week has been incredibly busy on the sporting front at Prince’s Mead where pupils have represented the School at a number of exciting competitions, including the IAPS U11 Netball qualifiers plus Rugby and Netball tournaments.

Headmaster’s Notes: It’s okay not to be okay.
Many of us noted this week a rather public exchange as David Leakey, a decorated Lieutenant General, responded to the presumption from a prominent political figure that military personnel are, essentially, too tough to feel anxiety. Leakey explained that “just because we’re trained to take things at a higher level…doesn’t mean we don’t feel it.”…

Headmaster’s Notes: If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.
