New Year, New Term

A new year and a new term always brings a sense of anticipation and excitement. This year these feelings are tempered by the economic and international news.

However, here at St Andrew's we are anticipating a good term of hard work and achievement for all.

The new Nursery with it extended hours, ages and weeks has begun and new children have joined us.

Please do vote in the poll opposite about the timing of Prize Giving.

The latest online column by Vicky Tuck, the President of the Girls' School Association, can be accessed here.
