Snow!

A few brave souls are left here at Shiplake, enjoying the snow. I hope all Everett boys and girls got home safely last night and enjoy the longer than expected weekend. Below are a few pictures, including Matthew taking on Y11 in a snowball fight and Sophie trying to be an angel!

Summer Exam timetable

The Summer 2013 exam timetable for GCSE, AS and A2 has been published and can be seen here. There may be changes but I will try and keep the document updated. Please check individual statements of entry when these are produced later in the year.

Anna scores 6 goals in win over MCS

Anna Proctor was part of the successful Girls netball team, pictured below, who beat Magdalen College this week 14-9, a great victory over a much bigger school with far more girls. Despite falling behind early in the first half the Shiplake girls warmed to their task with their handling skills becoming more assured, the Shiplake girls raised their intensity and became more aggressive in their tackling, limiting MCS’s passing options. Anna Proctor’s clinical finishing helped her to find the net no less than six times! Well done Anna.

House Art

Although we came 5^th in the overall competition, congratulations to Rose Parker who won the print category in Y13 and Max Chandler who came 2^nd in the painting category for Y11. My son Matthew also contributed, winning the Under 8 competition!

Atlantic Shore gig

Will Tse played a packed House at The Greene Note, Kings Arms, Berkhamsted last Thursday. Will and his band Atlantic Shore enjoyed the evening and he was pleasantly surprised to give out his first autograph to their fans!

Academic Awards

The Headmaster presented awards this week in assemblies for academic effort and attainment for last term, from a combination of report grades, excellence slips and progress reviews. In Y13 Kit Bowerin and Rose Parker both received Highly Commended awards, in Y11 Jamie Mottram received an Academic Honours award, in Y10 – Harry Frost received an award for the most excellence slips in the year group, as did Darien Patel in Y9. Well done to all.

Happy New Year and Welcome back

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas.

A warm welcome to our new Y9 pupil Hassan.

The House will be unlocked for returning boarders on Monday 7th from 19.00.
