Summer Term started with somewhat inclement weather yet all enjoyed an unusually fine sports day with excellent performances from all with even one of our BIST scholars Jason Park, with us for just a term, showing true grit in his performance in the 110m hurdles. Junior cricket too saw the A team make the semi-finals with captain Nat Brown rising to the challenge with aplomb, yet the spectre of examinations, both internal and external, soon dominated. The Upper Sixth leavers’ meal at The Vernon Arms with tutors was a memorable one and their final breakfast in the House saw both the boys and some tutors enjoy bacon and sausage baps just prior to examination leave and half-term. Fortunately examinations quickly seemed to pass and before all were aware the end of term beckoned and awards were made, tributes given, final assemblies conducted and Leavers’ acknowledged at the final Parents’ Association BBQ on the last Friday of term.
