Snow-Skype Worcestershire and Herefordshire were covered in snow in January and a subsequent of our teachers living in outlying areas with who teaches English, had the perfect via Skype, where she discussed with her Sixth Form classes the poetry of Keats and Nobel Laureate, Wislawa Szymborska. With the help of some clever initiatives and modern technology life in a boarding school carries on as normal, regardless of the weather. Out of class there was some serious fun to be had. Though the weekend programme of sports had to be cancelled, in its place a series of snow-related activities was quickly planned. Justin Major adjusted the Outdoor Pursuits programme to include sledging on Saturday afternoon and there was more than a bit of snowballing going on about the place. Boots and warm clothes were the order of the day and, yes, Ugg boots were allowed!
