Week 1

Term started on Thursday morning with over 480 pupils in the School - another record. The traditional hand-shaking with all pupils and staff took place after the first assembly of term, during which many pupils were congratulated for their excellent results in public examinations. Those pictured were given Gibson awards and ties to mark their achievements.

Over the Summer trips included a Pringle group going to Ru'a Fiola, shooting at Bisley, and rugby development in northern France.
