Dear Michael Hall Community,
Here we are at the end of the school year, and what a year it has been for us all. The energy and motivation to inspire the students in their learning have been second to none and both students and colleagues alike have more than earned their summer break.
I was delighted to be invited to the Class 8 celebrations last weekend, and was completely overawed by the reverence held by all for these particular events, marking the culmination of their class journey with Mrs Harkness and looking to their future at the doorstep of the Upper School. What an incredibly exciting moment in their school history for this group of remarkable young people and their families.
This week's Sports Day was another triumph of the school calendar and I'm delighted, if not a little relieved, that we managed to squeeze this in before such a profound change in the weather.
And so, we come to the end of the term, saying goodbye to a number of students, colleagues and trustees, and preparing ourselves to welcome others to the community in the Autumn. We wish all those who are leaving Michael Hall the very best for their futures, and look forward to settling into new working rhythms when new people arrive.
My warmest wishes to you all for a wonderful summer,
Sarah Stokes
Principal
