NEWSLETTER – 16 September 2022
Dear All,
I would have certainly wished for our new newsletter to come to you in different circumstances, but life has a habit of presenting challenges. The death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has certainly been felt keenly in our community and as we go through this period of mourning the compassionate heart of Windermere School has prevailed. The dignity and poise shown by Her Majesty in so many challenging circumstances is sure to be one of her most significant legacies and the stoicism shown by the community here is in many ways a very clear example of the depth of her influence in our culture.
Our community evolves with every new year as we welcome new and returning pupils – the classrooms and corridors are resonating with a newfound sense of purpose and energy. It has been a real pleasure to be able to engage with many of our new pupils already, and I am very much looking forward to a very busy calendar of events throughout the term. Our trips and visits list is bursting at the seams, pent up demand from COVID 19 restrictions is very much at play and we are most excited at being able to return to a full programme again.
Monday is sure to be another historic moment for us all and a time which will be reflected on for many years to come.
With best wishes,
Mr Tom Hill – Headmaster
