Book Binding

This week the book binders stitched their five sections of paper together using a kettle stitch to secure each one to the next. They all managed to complete the task and produced some very neat books ready for gluing. Catherine Duncumb

National Librarian Group Meeting

LIPSSEE is a friendly support network created specifically for anyone involved in the running of a Prep School library. On Wednesday Mrs Duncumb attended their annual meeting held at Aldwickbury School in Harpenden. Presentations were given on how to get involved in the Children’s Book Award, Alleyn’s School’s Big Read project (also a nominee for the School Library Association’s Enterprise Award) and new books published by Andersen Press. It was a very useful day for networking with other librarians, sharing good practice and ideas.

The quad fell silent this morning as the school came together for its annual Remembrance Day service.

Led by Mr Morgan-Jones, with heartfelt readings from Mrs O’Sullivan, four Pre-Prep pupils, and our Head Boy and Head Girl, we honoured all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service.

A British Royal Legion wreath was laid beneath the Oak tree, and another at the base of the Oliver Dicketts memorial tree — remembering Oliver (1979–2006), an Old Holmewoodian who gave his life while serving with NATO forces. Forever in our hearts.

We were honoured to welcome Oliver’s parents, Robert and Priscilla, and Alison and Clive Brown, whose son Tom — also an Old Holmewoodian — is currently serving in the Welsh Guards.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
