Headmasters Corner
Congratulations to Imogen Rees, Elliot Orchard and Otto Cullis who have all been offered places at Clifton High on the
back of their excellent performance in the recent Entrance Examinations. Special praise however must be given toImogen who has received a Scholarship. We congratulate too Charlie Sanzo on his outstanding performance in the
entrance examinations to Colstons. I know he impressed all with both the standard of his work and by his level of
confidence; well done Charlie! These are tremendous results and to be offered places into Senior Schools so early in the
year is testament to the standards that they are achieving; well done.

Swimming News
IAPS Regional Swimming at Clifton College - Tuesday 11th FebruaryThe IAPS team has now been selected. The competition is very tough and swimmers should be congratulated on being
selected. It will be a steep learning curve. Over 4000 swimmers take part in this competition so please wish them all luck.
Swimarathon - Friday 28th February 6.15pm
Any Year 5-8 swimmer may sign up for the annual Swimarathon at Thornbury Leisure Centre. We have two lanes booked
at 6. 15 pm. Please email or write a note stating that your son or daughter would like to take part. Two very keen swim-
mers have already handed in their forms before I asked for them- very impressive! Once selected, sponsorship forms and
further details will be given to the relevant swimmers.
We have beaten our targets over the last three years but smashing the barriers in 55 minutes is getting much harder! We
have won our slots each year with impressive tallies and raised money for local charities. It is always a fun night with
bands playing and excited swimmers ploughing up and down the pool. Any swimmer who would like to take part should
contact me as soon as possible.
Year 4
Year 4 have made a magnificent start to the term and are now completing work that much older swimmers were once
asked to do. They are the best divers in the school and have gained stars as a class for their efforts each week. Well done
Year 2
Well done to Year 2 who produced excellent improvements in front crawl.
Swimming Gala v St Edwards & Wycliffe
Our U9 U10 and U11 swimmers were out in force at a friendly triangular swim meet at Wycliffe on Thursday. Our small
squads naturally suffer in relays, but the performances of all were superb. Behaviour was generally good and the Year 6
team of Ella, Helena, Alex Grocott, Ellie and Alex Jacobi should be congratulated on good performances and excellent
leadership skills.
Winning swims came in the U9 girls medley, U9 boys free relay and U10 girls free relay, as well as individual firsts for:
Iona Campbell (back), Jake Wakeling (back and crawl); Jonathan Baguley (back); Helena Brain (back) Alex Jacobi
(breaststroke) and Rachel Shutt (crawl). The final points were TMS (72), Wycliffe (70) and St Edwards (59) less is
more! Well done and thanks to the army of Mums and Dads who transported and came to watchMrs Hinchliffe

Big Garden Birdwatch - 25th & 26th January
This weekend the RSPB is inviting everyone to take part in the world's largest bird survey - the 'Big Garden Birdwatch'.
You'll be providing the charity with a vital snapshot of the UK's bird population - so whatever age and wherever you arein the UK, nature needs your help!
All you need to do is grab a pen and paper, then spend one hour jotting down the highest number of each bird species you
spot on the ground at any one time that visit your garden (or even a local park).
Afterwards, simply enter what you've found at www.rspb.org.ukor pick up an entry form from a garden centre.
Good luck and happy bird watching!
