With students back on campus and plans for the marking of Chinese New Year in partnership with parents well underway, we have hit the ground running and can report positively upon the resumption of the many trusted routines that ensure the successful engagement of students each day.

With a first round of interviews for academic appointments also underway, plans for a return to Shopshire to finalise the makeup of our team for August are now safely in the diary. The search for my successor, meanwhile, has now begun.

Next week, we welcome the restart of our parent workshop series: Computing Coordinator, Jess Wheeler, is due to take the reigns on the subject of internet security. The School Management Committee is also scheduled to gather, shortly prior to the hosting of a first full dress rehearsal of a production that will draw upon the expertise and enthusiasm of students in Year 1, Year 3 and Year 5.
