HEADS OF SCHOOL UPDATE

Tom Walker

Along with the rest of Form 11, Arabella and I very much enjoyed the Leavers’ Dinner held at the Frensham Pond Hotel. It was a very special occasion with the whole year group and our teachers where we could reminisce and laugh about some of the most memorable times across both Senior and Prep years (and there was a lot to get through!). I think it is such a wonderful way and a great opportunity to end our journeys with pride after how far we have come as individuals.

At the end of term, we all look forward to the long-awaited St. Edmund’s Speech Day. There are always some fantastic guests and plenty of flowers, but it is day where more memories are made as the whole community celebrates all St Ed’s success. Arabella and I are currently in the process of writing our speeches now our GCSEs are over, and as speech day is such a highlight in the calendar, we cannot wait to see everyone there.

As the school year comes to a close, it has given us some time to reflect on our journeys and all that we have achieved here at St Edmund’s. Next year, I look forward to joining Wellington College where I am looking to study Ancient History, English and Geography. I cannot wait to continue my sport and develop my studies further where I am hoping to go to a US University following my A-Levels in two years time. It is an exciting time, as it is for all of us in Form 11, but I think we will all miss St Ed’s and each other in so many ways, we have all made so many memories.

Arabella and I wanted to wish you all a wonderful summer, we have loved every moment of being heads of school this year, it has been an absolute privilege and we look forward to visiting the school again at some point in the future.
