2014-07-31 | Head of Stanmore

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Despite our disappointing performance against Scots last weekend, I am pleased to report that the boys’ spirit has not been dampened and they are looking forward to this weekend’s fixtures. At yesterday’s assembly all boys were reminded that one day does not define a season and that true character must prevail. We are all united in moving forward. For the Headmaster’s response to the recent media coverage please see below.
