Friday 5th December

End of Term Arrangements
All parents have been sent a letter from the Headmaster, via email, concerning end of term arrangements. The letter can also be downloaded from the Letters Archive section of the St Hugh’s website. A brief reminder of the important pick up times on Wednesday, 10th December, the final day of term, follows.
Pre-Prep children break up at 12.20 pm. They will have lunch at school and will be available for collection from their classrooms at 12.20 pm. Those in the Middle and Upper School will remain at school and be transported to Buckland Church for the carol service, which will begin at 2.45 pm. The carol service is due to finish at 3.45 pm and if parents are not attending, and cannot collect from the church, we will bring your children back to school from where we would ask you to collect them by 4.30 pm at the very latest.

Thank You from Mrs Nobes
I would just like to express a very big ‘Thank You’ to all the children, parents and staff of St Hugh’s for having made me feel so welcome during my first term here. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!  Suzanne Nobes

Boarding at St Hugh’s
Please note that there will be no flexi-boarding on Tuesday, 9th December.  Only weekly boarders will be in school that night. Kindly note that the email address on which to contact Mr Das Gupta is boarding@st-hughs.co.uk.  This is also printed in the front of the school calendar and has been in use for some time.  From the start of next term, this is the only email address through which messages will reach him, as any other addresses will be closed at the end of this year.
