It was wonderful to visit St Faith’s Church for ou It was wonderful to visit St Faith’s Church for our Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols earlier this week.

It was a beautiful occasion and a special opportunity to bring our school community together at this time of year.

As always, one of the most poignant moments of the service was seeing our Year 13 pupils pass lit candles to our Year 7 pupils, symbolising the passing of the torch.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passi It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Brian Bennett, a dedicated and much-loved former Headmaster of the Junior Boys’ School.

When Brian arrived as a fresh-faced young Headmaster in the autumn of 1986, the school consisted of just one classroom and three wooden huts. Over more than two decades of devoted service, he oversaw a period of remarkable growth and transformation. Under his leadership, the Junior Boys’ School doubled in size and developed into a centre of excellence, boasting outstanding facilities and buildings.

Brian was an exceptional Headmaster who combined genuine love and care for the boys with a steadfast commitment to high standards in education. His legacy lives on in the school community and in the many lives he shaped during his years of service.

He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his wife Ruth, their family, friends, and colleagues at this sad time.
Last Friday, our School community came together to Last Friday, our School community came together to celebrate Christmas Jumper Day, raising money for Save the Children.

We also enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch, and in the Senior School, Jensen performed a selection of Christmas songs during lunch, creating a wonderful soundtrack to the celebrations.

A huge thank you to Jensen for sharing his music with us, and thank you to all families and pupils for getting involved and supporting such an important cause 🎄🎁
