The new Heads of School for the Michaelmas Term have been announced by @SVS_Headmaster as Sophie Browning and Sam Laird, both Upper Sixth. Each will give speeches to the student body in the Headmaster's Assembly, and perform duties to help the School community whilst in post. ๐
After months of hard work and weeks of waiting, it's A Level results day for our Upper Sixth leavers - congratulations to all those who achieved results that caused smiles such as these. ๐
Wishing the class of 2023 Old Suttonians a successful path to university or employment.
The final assembly of the Summer Term saw the presentation of numerous accolades, such as blue gowns, School ties and prizes by @SVS_Headmaster - including the lifting of the Baughan House Competition Cup, this year adorned in yellow for winners Founder's House. ๐๐
Our departing Upper Sixth students officially became Old Suttonians at a Leavers' Service in Chapel on Thursday evening. With speeches from Housemasters, prayers from the Chaplain and music from Chapel Choir, @SVS_Headmaster congratulated each leaver in turn. ๐
Each Midsummer Day since 1957, representatives of Sutton Valence Parish Council have joined us for the Rose Ceremony, 'paying' us the rent of one red rose for the lease of Sutton Valence Village Green for 99 years. ๐น
Today they were welcomed by @SVS_Headmaster during Chapel.
A stunning photo passed on from a friend of the @svs_news school who flew over in a hot air balloon the other day! What a glorious place to work/go to school!
In @svs_news Assembly today Olivia (Head of School) read this to the School from โThe Suttonianโ magazine in 1953 about the last Coronation. Fascinating.
Four @svs_news Coronation highlights. The CCF NCOs who gave a Guard of Honour at Assembly; the Special CR III Bible which we dedicated; the Junior Tea Party; the Prep School @svps_news Picnic in glorious sunshine. God Save the King!
Special Coronation tie and @svs_news School cufflinks ready to wear today to celebrate at the Junior Tea Party, Senior HM Special Assembly featuring the CCF NCOs and Heads of School, and then the Prep School @SVPS_News Picnic. God Save the King!
It was such a pleasure to have a โthank you dinnerโ with the U6th Prefects in the HM House garden tonight. Wonderful catering from @blue_egg_catering and a great time had by all!
Heads of School for the Summer Term have been announced as Olivia Chadwick and Daniel Booth (both Lower Sixth.) ๐ซ
Olivia gave her debut speech in the Headmaster's Assembly today, @SVS_Headmaster, whilst the School will hear from Daniel next week. Well done to you both.
Such a pleasant 9 minute door-to-door walk between the Prep and Senior @svs_news sites down this country track. Good to pause from lifeโs busy moments and soak up the nature. The irony of stopping and reaching for device to post on social media is not lost on me this time though!
Read all about it! Sutton Valence School is the subject of a double page spread in the April issue of @SoMagazines, following a day in the life of two busy pupils, and hearing from Headmaster, @SVS_Headmaster. ๐ ๐ธ
