As you will have read in Christs Chronicles, our pupils have access to abreadth of experiences on offer to enrich their learning and I am grateful to workwith so many colleagues who are willing to provide this essential dimension toour remarkable school.

We recently held our summer production ofZorro! and enjoyed a wealth oftalent from a large group of our pupils, who provided an entertaining evening forparents and friends. Congratulations to all those who took part and to Mr Wilson,Ms Brown, Mrs Busby, Mr Blaxland and the rest of the technical team fororganizing and producing such a wonderful evening.

To celebrate the London 2012 Olympics, we recently took part in the WorldSports Day organised by the Richmond School Sports Partnership. Pupils had todesign an Olympic Torch and a group ran to Grey Court School to presentChrists Schools torch. Dorsa Nasrollahi, year 9, designed our Olympic torchwhich was made by our Design Technology technician Mr Gray.

that pupils are ready to begin in September without unnecessary and avoidableconfrontation. All pupils will be expected to revert to the normal school uniform ofshirt and tie. The skirt for girls has changed and is now a navy blue pleated skirtavailable to purchase online. If a skirt is worn then socks can be black or white,short or long; alternatively black or navy blue tights may be worn. May I alsoremind you that- school will begin for pupils at 8.30am every morning- pupils cycling to school MUST wear a cycle helmet- uniform should be worn properly from home to school and from school to

home. School shoesshould be worn NOT trainers or leisure type plimsolls.
