Summer
exams started this week, with students taking part in breakfast and lunch
revision clubs and The Sanctuary providing welcome relaxation. Our teachers can
be seen poring over the papers in the break times, and the whole school is
behind those are working so hard at this time.
Our
extra-curricular activities provide welcome relief at these times and it was
superb to hear our Sexey’s singing group perform so well at Roth Bar &
Grill last weekend. Their fine voices certainly bode well for the whole school
musical ‘Bugsy Malone’ in July. Tickets are already on sale in Reception; we do
hope you can join us. Meanwhile, our sportsmen and women performed well in
cricket, rounders, equestrian and tennis fixtures played this week against
Ansford, Dauntsey’s School and Huish Episcopi Academy, and the athletics Track
and Field Cup meet at Millfield on Wednesday saw wins in the relays and sprints
– congratulations to everyone involved.
We also
had a very successful Boarding Open Morning last weekend and again thank you to
all colleagues and the community who go over and beyond to support us in our
endeavours. It was an excellent opportunity to show our future students what
they can achieve at Sexey’s, and to provide an update on all that we have been
doing recently in Boarding. Feedback was extremely positive, and our existing
parents may also be interested to read the latest updates to the Boarding and
Academic Action Plans here and here respectively. As always, we
welcome any questions or comments on these.
As I
write, final preparations are being made for the China Exchange trip, which
departs tomorrow to Beijing. We wish them the very best of journeys, a fruitful
visit, and a safe return.
祝你一个平静轻松的周末
(I wish you a
peaceful and relaxing weekend).
