On the last Sunday of November, when the first wintery blasts arrived, thirty three Year 10 pupils and four members of staff headed to Burrington Combe to begin Ten Tors training.

After eight weeks of classroom training, the boys were ready to stretch their legs and test their stamina on the hills. With temperatures forecasted at 0 degrees Celsius, the conditions were perfect! The route took us onto Beacon Batch and then down into Cheddar via Black Down. We then climbed back out of Cheddar on the opposite side of the gorge and over the top to return to Burrington. It was a decent ten mile walk and all the boys seemed to enjoy themselves.

Next stop is Pen Y Fan on Sunday 9 January for Year 10 before training ramps up with the prospective 45 milers joining us when we head to Exmoor at the end of January.

Mr Dunn, Mr Martineau and five prefects, including the Captain of Boarders, took the Harvest Festival donations that QEH had received to The Community of the Sisters of the Church in St Paul's.

Harvest Donations

Since joining the school, we have been constantly amazed by the support and kindness given by the teachers, staff and other pupils and, above all, by the injection of fun that infiltrates throughout whether they're playing sport, completing a science project and participating in a school play.  No doubt there will be challenges ahead but we're confident the school will provide the support and guidance that has our sons' best interests at heart.
