French Exchange - desperate appeal!
Thank you to all the families who have offered to host a French student from 24th-28th March next year.
So far, we have found a place for 15 students. There are 18 students who would like to visit us. We therefore desperately need another three hosts. It would be such a shame if the exchange doesn’t work for the sake of three more places.
Please reply to Mr Whittingham on the attached letter if you could help.
Carol Service
7.00 pm start.
Instrumentalists arrive at the abbey: 6.15pm. All other students by: 6.45pm
We look forward to seeing many of your there for what is always such a wonderful occasion!
During the day on Thursday, all involved will be rehearsing at the Abbey. We would appreciate students arriving at school on time so that we may leave promptly.
Those not at the Abbey in the evening will remain at school. We have very few students not going from years 3 to 9 which is excellent. Thank you.
If there are any late changes please let your child’s tutor know so we can plan appropriately, although we hope that there won’t be any changes.
What a busy Prep School!

Ann, from HSBC, did some really engaging workshops in all our classes. We then had a quiz to answer and received our very special award from the bank – we have learnt about budgeting, opening bank accounts, planning parties, money and more!
