Monday 23 October - Friday 27 October 2023
From the Head of College
The love between grandparents and their grandchildren is something to treasure and celebrate, and if your children are anything like mine, no one ever cooks as well as their grandparents, let’s you eat whatever you want whenever you want and believes that you are truly flawless! Grandparents are definitely something to celebrate.
