Reflections


14 years is a long time in anyone’s life.  And as Speech Days are inevitably an occasion to reflect, as we sat in Carlisle Cathedral, I found my mind replaying our memories of Nerea’s time at school.  Her “first days” at both Junior and Senior school with the inevitable oversized blazers, the professional school productions, the polished musical soirees, sports days and fundraisers, the embroidered tablecloth I’d sat up sewing, the expedition to Borneo.  But more than anything, I remembered friendly, happy children.  Smiling, joyful  children who’ve grown into confident, poised adults.  And that’s a great legacy for any school.
