Our Tiger class will be off to pastures new in September and this is an opportunity to say how very proud we are of them. Of all the cohorts that have journeyed through our school, they have really missed out on so many of the significant events that our little fish traditionally look forward to… from sitting on the benches in assembly, to swimming in the Cormorants gala, from going on residential to Fairthorne Manor, to performing to large audiences in the summer production, from being book buddies with our youngest fish to showing prospective parents around our school. There are so very many things that our Tiger class have missed out on this academic year and for this we are incredibly sad.

This week though, our Tigers are out and about enjoying lots of different adventures! Today they are at CYE on Chichester Harbour, having a wonderful range of experiences. Each day there is a different adventure in store – A Chichester Marina visit, time at CYE, pizzas in Priory Park and a day of Forest School at Kingley Vale. We know it’s not quite the same as being away for a whole week at Fairthorne, but we know memories will be made during the week.

Needless to say, we have many plans up our sleeves to give them a special and heartfelt send-off but right now we acknowledge their incredible resilience and understanding of the uncertain situation we find ourselves in.

Tiger class, you are incredible and we are very proud of each and every one of you.
