T his academic year carried on from last year as one full of disruption and uncertainty. There was a continuation of Virtual Heads
studies. The sixth form leavers were not able to get the usual full end of year send-off but I hope that they will get an opportunity to return
assemblies, Chapel services and house meetings. Come September it will be fantastic to get back into Taylor Hall and the Chapel so we can be together again as a school. The boys in the house have been fantastic in these times and in the future should look back with pride for the way they carried on with their studies.
next year to celebrate their time here at St Lawrence. Mr Wilkening and myself were able to take them out for a farewell meal which was enjoyed by all. It was great to see them out of school and in a relaxed environment. The destinations for them after St Lawrence are varied destinations from Monaco to Loughborough, Canterbury, Nottingham and Greenwich. For the ones not heading straight off to

House competitions were decimated once again this year. Cross country was unable to take place, meaning our champion runner Patrick Greene will have to wait until September 2021 to hopefully claim his skittle fueled crown again. House Drama was a Star Wars performance under the theme of “hope”. Special mentions must go to Gabriel Hayden and James Greene for all the hard work they put in to make it happen and to Jude Stroud for stepping in at the last minute to help with the technical side of the performance. It was another“it will be all right on the night” approach but true to form, the boys involved performed well. Special mention must also go to Tom Peters and Daniel Jury for their duologue performance. House singing was a recorded performance by Gabe Hayden and Myles Wise, with Gabe on guitar and vocals whilst Myles provided back up via the drums. It was a very enjoyable performance and really made us all in the house very proud of them both. GCSE results being teacher-assessed grade based meant for a very busy end to the year for all the upper sixth and fifth form boys, but I am confident in the way they approached the process and expect to see a set of very good grades for them. Some of the fifth form are moving on for their education and I wish them the very best for their
university I have no doubt life away from school will be successful and enjoyable for them. For the upcoming 2021-22 academic year, I
