2015-07-23 | Head of Stanmore

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Recently I was reminded that university degrees are not handed out for participation. Newington proudly nurtures a love of learning, and the best lessons learnt are often ones when boys fail. Please encourage your sons to reflect on their failures so that they might learn from the past and change the future.

Dr Andrew Hirst, Deputy Headmaster/Head of Stanmore
