Vaughan Holme

So very sad to hear of the death of Vaughan Holme, Housemaster of Maine A. He died whilst climbing in Wales on Saturday along with an Old Blue Jack Hutton - Potts. See the CH press release http://www.christs-hospital.org.uk/press-statement-17-june-2013/ My thought are with their families and everyon...

Re: House photos

I dont remember receiving anything regarding this. Are the photos on the normal Parent Portal or on a separate website?

Re: CH ARMS AND THE SWORD

I heard a speech given by the Windsor Herald recently, it was fascinating, what an interesting job to have! He told us that the name in his passport is just "Windsor Herald", this can apparently give rise to problems at passport control when he is travelling with his children, who obviousl...

Re: "The Blue 2012" - Oh Dear...

Ah the good old days when we had Hitler, Diptheria and Rickets ! :wink:

Only joking - the only time my sons shoes are cleaned is when I do them! Since the 2nd form he has had a shoe cleaning kit, as yet unopened!

Re: I S I Report 2013

Well done to all the staff at CH and indeed the pupils themselves (I know my son was questioned by the inspectors). The school has been inspected and achieved an excellent rating across the board, one cannot ask for anymore!

Gary Lineker

Apparently Gary Lineker visited CH today to film " Who do you think you are" so watch out for the next series on T.V! My son managed to get a great pic of himself with Gary, so he is very pleased!

Re: 2013 Admissions Thread

I am afraid that unless people visit CH they have no comprehension whatsoever of why we want our children to go there. My son also said after an open day visit "I want to go to that school" so the decision to let him sit the exams was driven by him! I also felt terribly guilty at first tha...

Re: 2013 Admissions Thread

Yes I agree with Pinkhebe I dont think we did much coaching for the residential exam. I may be completely wrong but it seemed to be that the residential is much more of a test to see whether your child fits in and would get along ok in a boarding school. I think my advice is that your boys should ju...

Re: Contributions

I have no particular grouse with what I am being charged by CH, I wish it was less but I think it is probably fair in my case. However I do think we should all receive the calculation sheet for our assessment so it can be shown to be a clear, transparent and fair process.

Re: Remembrance Sunday on TV

It is on You Tube in about 6 parts, just search for "christs hospital remembrance service" . It states that it was recorded in 1988.
