2015-01-28 | Head of Stanmore

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back to school. I trust all families have had a pleasant summer break and are well rested. 2015 will be another busy year and it will provide our boys with the opportunity to build on their successes of the past. I look forward to welcoming the boys tomorrow morning.

Boys in Years 8-12 should proceed to their House areas at 8.30am prior to Mentor group meetings to be held in Period 1.

Dr Andrew Hirst, Deputy Headmaster/Head of Stanmore
