As the Head of School said yesterday, gone are the blazers and homework and so forth - at least for a year. Amongst the many to thank are all those who made yesterday's Prize Giving so memorable - Mr Wheeler, its Mastermind, Mrs Crewe-Read, Mrs Titmuss, Mr Millard, their teams, Mrs Disley and Mrs Wilson, and many many others. It was a truly memorable day, in stylish surroundings, fine weather ... and what a pleasure it was to entertain at the Racecourse our leavers' parents and prizewinners' parents, as well of course as the leavers and prizewinners themselves.

A special thanks to to student speakers, each of them superb: Lucy Peel, Jack Webber, Oscar Hayward and Pete Johnstone. Not forgetting the wonderful voice of Zara Fyfe.

Not that we will settle with a comfortable sigh into this routine forever, of course: this was a first go at whole-school Prizegiving at the Racecourse, and if any readers have any feedback, do please let us know (to school or kcsheadblog@live.co.uk as a response to this) - we want to do it even better next year!

So a great year ends. Thank you to all our friends and supporters. have a great summer.

And one final thought. Loitering to meet me after a Governors' meeting last week was Inigo Atkin. Could he respond to last week's blog? Of course. The response was to my off-the-cuff reference to Shakespeare's fools, and it came in the form of his EP on Shakespeare's 'wise fools'. Having read it, I take my hat off to Inigo and his mature and impressive analysis of fools not just in As You Like It but several other comedies. I admit it: I was wrong to describe them as 'slightly tiresome'. Please do keep responses coming.
