Welcome from the Headmaster Welcome to the latest edition of The Ludgrovian which will hopefully give you a flavour of what we have been up to over the last few months.

other boys and all the wonderful staff. For the top year, the Michaelmas term heralds a step up in expectation as they lead the school as well preparing for senior school destinations. It’s heads down on the academic front and full throttle in making the most of their last three terms at Ludgrove, enjoying the sport, art, music, drama and extra curricular activities that builds the ‘all rounders’ that enables our boys to thrive in the future. No matter what year the boys are in, all eyes

are on the new Exploration Centre as the state-of-the-art, £2.5M building emerges from the site behind the Theatre. Work is cracking on apace and the whole school eagerly awaits the Science and Creative Arts facility opening in Autumn 2020. I hope you enjoy the newsletter and that it provides an insight into Ludgrove life in 2019. Any feedback is welcome, as is any news to be included in next term’s Lent edition.
