As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, this week we have focused on Children’s Mental Health Week and the theme of belonging. In assembly on Monday, I talked to the boys about the importance of feeling that you belong whilst also staying true to yourself. Linking to our current learning strength, we reflected on the responsibility we have to help others feel that they belong and are valued. 

Bearing this in mind, it was wonderful to see so many events this week where belonging was a theme. During the week, boys represented their houses in the house football competition whilst Year 3 and 4 joined with the Prep School for a Chapel service on Wednesday morning. Also on Wednesday, Year 6 continued their preparation for the move to the senior school with a meeting with Mr Walker, Head of Year 7, on how best to prepare for the transition to Warwick School. Today, Year 3 and 4 again joined the Prep School as part of the Link Day programme to take part in a range of activities with Year 3 designing the best marble ball rollercoaster and Year 4 completing an exciting spy challenge. 

As we start the half term break, please note the arrangements below for the Junior School Book Day on Thursday 26th February, including the donations for the PAWS Book Sale.  

Thank you for your support of your sons and I wish you all a restful half term holiday.
