Welcome to this special half term edition of A View of The Close

Due to the volume of material submitted for inclusion this week, I have substituted the usual newsletter format for this slightly fuller publication! Moving forward, an extended edition like this will be prepared at each half term and end of term point.

My view of The Close has been significantly altered this week by the presence of snow, which has served to illuminate my office beautifully.

Storm Darcy, or ‘Beast from the East 2’, has certainly made its presence felt in this part of Kent! The snow began to fall early on Sunday and, by late morning, The Close was bathed in brilliant white. This was a fantastic treat for our boarders, several of whom had never experienced snow before! With the majority of pupils and staff at home, the ‘snow days’ this week have at least been less disruptive and safer for us all than in normal times.
