Review of the week: Autumn Term Week 7

In order for our annual Poetry Recitation Competition to take place, there was a somewhat different format for our Celebration Assembly this week, with our Pre-Prep children meeting in the Chapel first, followed by our Prep children.  It was, however, delightful to hear gasps from our youngest children when Mr Chapman pointed out that our beautiful Chapel is over 160 years old!
