Dear Michael Hall Community,
I hope you all enjoyed the half-term last week. The weather seems to have finally arrived and remained, at least for the time being! I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to take more leisurely dog walks and to stay outside for longer into the evenings. The colours and aromas of the Summer are around us in abundance, and interacting with the world seems a far more sensory experience at this point in the year. It is good to pause and reflect on how this makes us feel, breathing in nature.
We began our final half-term of the academic year with a beautiful Whitsun Assembly. These events are a constant source of inspiration to me, both spiritually and professionally, and this one was no exception. From the storytelling to the poetry recital, the multi-language presentation to the choral singing, this festival of wisdom and understanding was utterly immersive, and the reverence and respect shown by the children throughout was humbling.
As you will read below, this week has seen the launch of our new School Website, which we hope you find to be accessible, informative and a source of clear and exciting news about our wonderful school and its wider community. This has come to fruition as a result of the Herculean efforts of our team, with particular thanks to Kirsty Grant and Chloe Lewin for their incredible work on this project for the School.
My warmest wishes,
Sarah Stokes, Principal
