Parakeets

Despite the miserable grey weather we did have a splash of colour this week with a visit by a flock of parakeets to the orchard outside Everett and in my garden!

UK Senior mathematical challenge

In Senior assembly on Wednesday morning the Headmaster gave out certificates for the UK Senior Mathematical Challenge. Over 75000 pupils entered and I was very pleased to see Jamie Mottram and Freddie Ireland receive awards. This meant they came in the top 10% of all the UK entries. Jamie received a Bronze certificate and Freddie Ireland a Silver certificate, Freddie also received certificates for best in year and for the top performer in the school, well done to both.

Isabella Grace Brownley

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Brownley, 

Best wishes to you both and Isabella from all in Everett House.

Jen and I are very proud to announce the birth of Isabella Grace Brownley who was born on 30th December in the Royal Berkshire Hospital, just in time for lunch, at a weight of 8lb 12oz.

Both Jen and the baby are doing very well and are happy to be home. 

Regards,

House Colours

At the Christmas lunch on Thursday I was delighted to award Peter Baker and Freddie Lang their House colours. Good all round contributions to House and school sport, good duty nights, and great comments from Rev Cousins about their role as House Chapel Wardens made the decision an easy one. Well done to both.

House Social

On Thursday night we gathered in the Tithe Barn for pizza and chicken wings and some music. The boys and girls demolished 35 Dominos pizzas, but left most of the chips and wings, much to the delight of my dogs! Bill Su did a virtuoso performance of Gang Nam style, followed by Y12 and Y11 singing and swinging with Mr Brownley choosing the tunes. Thanks to DJ’s Dom, Myles and Jamie for setting up the lights and music.
