‐
Lookking back ovver the courrse of the year the pup pils will undoubtedly focus on winning cup ps, friendshiips y Some of and events whiich have fraamed their year. han others and thesse memoriess are more important th as a Housemaster a ‘winning culture’ is not measured v on the sports pitch or in the debating in victories cham mber (although you neever complaain when they happ pen!). Whatt are importtant are the values of the indivviduals towaards one an nother and towards theeir scho ool life.
ul place to be e this year and North has beeen wonderfu th his is becau use year grroups have bonded and evveryone hass been able to feel thaat this speccial pllace is ‘home’. I am certtain that thiss will continue with next yea w r’s Upper Sixxth who are a tremendo ous ye ear group and they willl be able to o create evven grreater cohession and toggetherness. In the end th his means m your boys b want to make the most of their tim me here and d this is seen with record numbers of bo oys in Nortth dedicatin ng themselvves to mussic, drrama, outd door educaation, sportt and, mo ost im mportantly, their t academ mic work. I was delightted byy the majoriity of resultss in the IVth form and LV Vth exxams as thiss is the ultim mate measure of a Hou use an nd its ability to generatee a purposeful atmospheere on n a daily bassis. This is a collective acchievement so it is a huge ‘thanks’ to my deputiies (JMW and RH HGJ), the wo onderful Matrons (Karen n and Marion), cleaners (Pam m, Jan, May, Maria and Lucy) and the t utor team (V VJB, MRJ, BRT, THJB, DIA, D WDH, TRB tu an nd APS). Finally, a than nks to the U6th U who haave prrovided a number of m memories (b both good and baad!) and some phenom menal leaderrship over the co ourse of the year.
