    Bronte School

    Headmasters Newsletter 47
    2 October 2015
    Monday, 5th October is that notable school
    date which ushers in the official start of the
    colder half of the year. As such, we can
    naturally expect All in Winter Uniform to
    be accompanied by soaring temperatures
    and a record October heatwave! It would
    indeed be a joy if the current warm spell
    were to continue . so, fingers crossed
    Last Friday of course saw the start of this
    current welcome spell of high pressure and
    bright clear weather, and it also saw our
    Macmillan coffee morning/afternoon, with
    cakes in abundance all through the day.
    Sales proceeded really well and we raised a
    total of 381 for this very worthy and
    important charity! Thank you to Mrs Egan,
    Mrs Shand and all those who helped
    organise the days proceedings.
    This Friday (2nd October), there is a school
    nurse drop-in clinic in the morning. As
    mentioned before, this is a new idea, which
    may well provide some useful help in
    childrens health and well-being.
    In the afternoon, do try to get along to the
    Friends AGM, at 4.00pm in the School Hall.
    At this meeting, we will look at the various
    events planned over the year, receive ideas
    for any new events, review the Friends
    finances, and also appoint the 2015 16
    committee. Please dont be fearful that
    you will be put under any pressure to
    become a committee member! Support for
    the Friends is nonetheless always welcome
    whether as a committee member or a
    school parent.

    On Saturday morning, the school is hosting a


    Nursery event, as parents of the older
    Nursery children gather for a presentation by
    Mrs Wood, Director of Studies, about school
    life after nursery. The presentation covers all
    the different options: state primary schools,
    independent schools, and indeed home
    schooling too. It includes details about the
    state primary admissions process, which
    inevitably can be a minefield if a school of
    choice is very popular. I know the parents
    are much looking forward to the talk, and I
    am most grateful to Mrs Wood and all
    involved with the morning.
    Looking back, its been a full and varied
    week, with Tuesdays Forest School for Year
    1 and Thursdays swimming as normal for
    Years 2 and 5. On Tuesday as well, Year 6 had
    their LEGO maths challenge day. Its always a
    wonderful experience, teams working
    together to design and create houses of
    LEGO bricks, all to scale and costed in
    accordance with the price given to
    different size bricks. Tuesday was no
    exception, proving a fascinating day for all.
    Well done to our winning team Sasha and
    Manirvair, who will represent Bronte at the
    finals on 22 October.

    Many thanks for all they did on the trip to Mrs
    Prescott and Mrs Lonergan, Mrs Baldacci and
    Mrs Lippard, and the two accompanying parents,
    Mr Gard and Mr Kambo. The detail and care
    which has been put into all the exhibits and

    day, much enjoyed by all.
