Covid testing

Covid testing

It has been terrific to see large numbers of actual living students in and around school in the last couple of days. All waiting patiently for their Covid tests. Despite the masks, their delight and enthusiasm to see one another (and the school!) was clear to see on their faces – the hubbub of happy conversation reminding us of what we’ve all been missing in the last few interminable weeks.

Mr Howard and Mr Andronov run a very tight and smooth testing operation! Thanks to them and their amazing team, and the exemplary behaviour and attitude of the boys, each year group went through in considerably less time than we’d expected – and at time of writing, there had not been a single positive test result.  

That is a result indeed!

Tolkien Lecture: Cricket as Business, Culture and Entertainment

On Tuesday 28 April, the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre was the venue for the second Tolkien Lecture since the series resumed following its pause due to the pandemic.
