It has been excellent to welcome your boys back and there has been a real feeling of energy around the school. How lovely to see so many cheery faces at the zebra crossing at the start of the school day! A particularly warm welcome goes to all new Moulsford families who have joined the school this term.
One of the key aspects of my role is in advising parents regarding senior school choices for their boys. To do so, it is essential to nurture and develop very close links between Moulsford and these schools. Regular dialogue with senior school staff at many different levels not only allows us to give parents an informed view, but also helps Moulsford fully understand changes in educational trends and philosophy which may be taking place.
In this first half of term the following will be visiting Moulsford: Julian Thomas (Master of Wellington), Mark Hindley (Deputy Head of Abingdon), John Moule (Warden of Radley), Thomas Garnier (Headmaster of Pangbourne). I will also be visiting Abingdon to have lunch with the new Headmaster, Mike Windsor. On Thursday evening, Sarah B-G and I attended the launch of the Tatler Schools Guide. At this event, I was able to catch up personally with the Headmasters of Stowe, St. Edwards Oxford and Shrewsbury, as well as Registrars of Marlborough and Wellington, besides chatting to numerous other Prep School Heads.
On Tuesday 4 October from 4.30 – 6.30pm, Moulsford is hosting a Senior Schools Fair at which the following schools will be represented: Abingdon, Bradfield, Radley, Magdalen College School, St Edwards Oxford, Eton, Marlborough, Millfield, Pangbourne, Shiplake, Stowe, The Oratory, Wellington, Cokethorpe, Harrow and Padworth College. This should be an invaluable event for many parents, and I do hope that a good number of you will be able to attend.
