May I wish you all a very happy and productive Easter holiday.
After a short and, hopefully busy break, the boys will return to their last term at Shiplake. Before their minds turn to The Leavers' Ball, the long summer ahead and other such temptations, there is the small matter of A Level examinations!
I hope all boys return ready for the immense challenges that lie ahead and can muster the energy, single-mindedness and cooperation that will give them the best chances of success. Quiet work and preparation will be the order of the day in College House from the evening of Tuesday 13th April. It is crucial that we create an atmosphere conducive to hard work and, to this end, Miss Arnold, my Tutors and I will be coming down very hard on boys who disturb others.
It is quiet possible to strike a balance between hard work, rest and play and I hope that all the boys will return ready for what awaits on the games fields, courts and river.
May I make a few other reminders:

May I make a few other reminders:
- Car owners must display a College permit, hand their keys to me and, with ever increasing congestion, park with sense and care.
- All medication must be registered with the Medical Wing, even over the counter medicines such as paracetamol.
- Weekend arrangements must be clear and transparent and I would ask parents to continue to support me in this.
- Whilst we do not have exam leave at Shiplake, once a pupil has finished his exams, he may go home until the last week of term. Further details on this will follow.
- Details regarding the Leavers' Ball will be sent separately. Parents are most welcome to attend this as they are the Leavers' Service which preceeds the prize giving ceremony on Speech Day.
See you next term!
