This week, in particular, the atmosphere in the House has been both cheerful and relaxed despite the end-of-term tests and the impending mock exams for Year 11 after the Christmas break.

As we bid farewell to another term filled with laughter, learning, and festive cheer, it's time to reflect on the wonderful moments that have shaped our Christmas term.

Looking ahead to next term, my wife and I look forward to meeting parents on Friday 24th January for drinks and nibbles. Invitations have already been sent out so I would be very grateful if you could follow the instructions in the e-invite for RSVP. The evening will start at 7.30pm and should finish by approximately 9:30pm. If you would like to attend and have not already replied, please do email me as soon as possible.

As we approach the holiday season, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all families. May this festive break be filled with joy, relaxation, and quality time spent with loved ones. I look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting term in the new year.

Please note that the new term will start on Tuesday 7th January 2025.

Finally, as another term comes to an end in The Caffinites House, I thought it would be fitting to share lots of photos from our Junior and Senior House Suppers with you. It is a week that I will never forget!

Merry Christmas!
