☕️ "You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." - C. S. Lewis

We quite agree! What better way to spend the colder months, than by retreating somewhere cosy, with a warm drink and a good book 📚

Today we remember those who fought for our freedom. To mark the 40-year anniversary of the Falklands War, students from the Upper Fourth produced a series of stunning work which is on display in the Murray Centre. The whole school observes a two-minute silence at 11am today.
