A really good turn out for the KSA meeting last week with lots of events planned for this term. The week seemed to go quickly and so too did this weekend hence writing my blog so late on Sunday evening.

On Saturday the sponsored swim was well supported and the children did really well. The children collectively swam over 50 miles, far more than we anticipated. I think some of you underestimated how many lengths your children would do. The School Council will decide on how the money raised will be spent. A big thank you to all the children who took part, all the parents who supported them and my dedicated staff. Also thank you to members of Exmouth Swimming Club who gave up their valuable time to supervise the swimmers and support the event.

On Sunday, together with many others, I attended Evensong at Exeter Cathedral and the installation of Anna Norman-Walker as a Residentiary Canon. Kentisbeare School was very sad to lose the Reverend Anna as she is well loved by the children and staff. I know she will make a valuable contribution in her new role and no doubt we will find opportunities to go and visit her. In fact the year 5 and 6 children are off to Exeter in a few weeks and the Cathedral is number 1 on their list.

Enjoy the week ahead.
