Lent Term

Posted by on 3 January 2012 | 0 Comments

Welcome back to a new year and the beginning of the Lent term. I hope that you all had a good Christmas and that you haven't broken your new year's resolution yet! This term starts with Form 6 pupils taking their entrance exams to various independent senior schools. I would like to wish the parents of those children good luck; the children do not need luck as their results are really down to how well they have revised and worked throughout the year. Which school they will be offered places at will also be determined by which academic institute will suit them best, to nurture them through their teenage years and help them on the road to GCSE's, IB's, A levels and higher education, if that is their direction.

Yes we all love our children and of course we want only the best for them. One of the sacrifices we have made is to spend thousands of hard earned pounds on their education, sending them to a school where they will get the best care, academic teaching and social and physical development in an environment of motivation and high expectations. In fact our concern for 'the best' for our children started well before schooling. But can we care too much? Can our ever increasing demands for excellence and well being surpass what is good and healthy?

October

Posted by on 11 October 2011 | 0 Comments

Where have all the blogs gone? Unfortunately I have not been near the website often enough so far this term. I hope I can make amends. The children our working hard and the routines are now back in place. The Autumn Term is always a great term for progress, with our children concentrating on forming good work habits and accelerating their learning. Thank-you for all the questionnaire replies. I have gleaned much from them. We will be issuing a summary for all parents to see. I hope you will have noticed some changes and additions to the school that have actually addressed some of the issues brought up.

Welcome to a new academic year. the weather has changed so suddenly and the summer holidays have come to an end. I hope you have all had some good times together as families and been kept busy. The best part of the summer months is the long hours of daylight.

Thank-you

Posted by on 30 July 2011 | 0 Comments

The Thanksgiving service at the end of term was, as always, a very emotional day for leavers, parents, staff and me. It was a time when all the school can celebrate the achievements of all of the children, especially Form 6 boys and girls and what great achievements they have made. It was also a sad day for many as Form 6 children had their last tea back at the school and we all said our farewells. The next time we will see them will be when they return next Summer to compete for the Old Pupils' v Form 6 rounders match.

July!

Posted by on 28 June 2011 | 0 Comments

What a marvellous Open Day we had. The weather favoured us and the sun shone down for most of the afternoon. The children really enjoyed being able to show you many of the activities and much of the work that they have been preparing throughout the year. I particularly enjoyed the swing band and the children singing. However, I'm sure the musical dustbins, bottles and brooms left a lasting memory. Many thanks to members of the ESA who spent many hours preparing for the fun and the activities staff too. A special thanks to the organising sub-committee and to our Head Boy, Sam who stepped in to cover pianist duties (I am glad to say that Miss Griggs is now well on the way to recovery).

Open Day

Today it was meant to be raining, but the sun is beginning to peep from behind the clouds. Normally this would make me happy but it does not. I would rather it rained heavily this afternoon not tomorrow!

Charity Day

Posted by on 10 June 2011 | 0 Comments

What a wonderful day Thursday was. Charity Day was like no other. This year the School Council arranged the whole of the activities including a cake sale, badges, all pupils in the school completing either a biathlon or triathlon, followed by a talent show for evening entertainment. I was mightily impressed with their ideas and how they organised themselves to take charge of each event. All the members that were involved deserve very special thanks and congratulations. Likewise the staff joined in admirably especially Mr Genders who enjoyed playing in the bouncy castle! A thank you also to the ESA parents who helped marshal the event on the field but refused a go at the hurdles. Eversfiedl's Got Talent evening saw some exceptionally good acts from very confident performers. It was much better than Simon Cowell's version. It was not only entertaining but great to see so much talent. This year the children have raised in excess of £8000, with more to come in before Saturday next. - RY

There are some different approaches used in this web-site and I have no doubt that we will discover some problems or dislikes along the way.

Never believe the gossip!

Posted by Headmaster on 5 May 2011 | 0 Comments

I’ve never really been enamoured with Shakespeare. As a child I could never understand the language that was used. I may as well have been reading or listening to Greek. When I was at school one of our literary studies was Julius Caesar. I did not fare well with my interpretations and analysis. So when I recently found myself in conversation with a friend who was extolling the virtues of the newly refurbished Stratford Theatre I wasn’t really convinced. My interpretation of a good play was not the same as theirs, but then my experiences had not been similar either. Another friend who was with us at the time relayed a story which was not so favourable. He had been in a seat where he could not get a clear view, had people coughing and sneezing all over him, thought that the acting was sub-standard and was totally bored.
