NOTES FROM THE HEAD<br />

We have received a furious complaint from Queen Elizabeth<br />

House about parents repeatedly parking in their car park.<br />

The final straw for them was the need to carry a patient<br />

some distance to an ambulance as someone was parked in<br />

an ambulance bay. I do ask again that no parent uses any<br />

of the local car parks when dropping off or picking up as it<br />

does considerable damage to the reputation of the school.<br />

Queen Elizabeth House tell me that they have recruited a<br />

clamping company who have authority to clamp and remove<br />

any car that does not have permission to park.<br />

ISEB REVISION GUIDES<br />

During the Curriculum Evenings at the start of the year,<br />

we recommended some ISEB Revision Guides to Class 7<br />

and 8 in preparation for the Common Entrance exams. We<br />

also explained that some guides contain so many mistakes<br />

or different ways of teaching that they are not useful and<br />

would only confuse our girls. We urge you please to only<br />

purchase those books on our recommended list. We are<br />

already aware of some girls having learned information<br />

straight from the wrong books and they have lost marks<br />

as a result. Please see our website for a full list of recommended<br />

books.<br />
