Christmas and New Year catch up

Happy New Year!

Apologies for the long delay in entry. I thought I would share some pictures of Christmas in Skipwith and of the Senior House Rugby event held last week.

At Christmas we had a visitor. Bobo the Christmas Elf. He wished to join in with the fun but remain anonymous so he wandered from place to place and kept an eye on the antics of the boys in various areas. Unfortunately, some students thought he was spying on them so they moved him and surrounded him with fruit so he could not see. He spent the rest of the time recovering in the safety of a cushioned drawer in the Skipwith office. It was good to have him around, if only for a few days!


We also had Advent Bells with clues for finding chocolate goodies, Christmas music and a Christmas film in the Eve Lecture Theatre followed by Christmas Lunch on the last day.

Christmas Jumper day was a great success and we raised over £100 for the Reading drop in centre. Everyone looked very dapper too!


 The Carol Service at St Mary's was absolutely terrific. The readings and choir were fabulous and the singing from pupils and parents was full of gusto. A great way to end the term.

The Junior and Senior rugby awards were held towards the end of last term. Some photos of the black tie event and prize winners follows:
