David Hawes Wins at Ballroom Dancing!!

On Saturday evening Queen Anne's School in Caversham hosted a wonderful Ball in which Shiplake Y12 pupils had the opportunity to demonstrate their new found ballroom dancing skills. These boys have spent many Friday evenings over the course of this year practising for this event and so we were all very excited to hear that David Hawes (Everett Y12) came home with a gold medal for his performance in Foxtrot!!

Mothering Sunday and the visit of the Bishop of Oxford

Just a reminder that our Mothering Sunday service will take place at 7.30 p.m this Sunday, 14th March in the parish church. Hannah, an Everett girl, is helping organise this. It would be great if some Everett families could be there to give thanks for their mums! The dress for the pupils will be smart casual - I hope to see some of you there!


Moving on to Sunday 21st March. This is when the Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Revd John Pritchard will be joining us at the college to lead the service in the parish church at 11.30 a.m. This is not a Confirmation Service but a Holy Communion Service and we will be joined by the parishioners of Shiplake Church. This is Bishop John’s first visit to the college. I appreciate that this is a more difficult time than the Mothering service but it would be great if we could have a good student turnout for one of the most senior figures in the Church of England.
