Dear Michael Hall Community,
In Early Childhood, from Candlemas onwards, we often share stories of the snowdrop. My colleagues hold many snowdrop stories in their hearts—tales that, in the powerful way stories do, speak of hope, generosity, the beauty of difference, and kindness. It feels fitting that our inset today carries a similar theme, as we come together as a teaching community to learn, grow our skills, and reflect on the children in our care with gratitude and reverence.
This deep care is shown in many ways-by the guardians and teachers who stand watch over Upper School students jumping and twirling to music at their recent ball late into the night, by teachers who leave the comforts of home to hike mountains or sleep on farms with their classes, and by our pastoral team, who hold the wellbeing of so many. It is present in our site team, who ensure our safety, our mansion staff (Admissions, Operations, HR, Catering, and Finance), who provide the foundation that allows us to serve our community so fully, and, of course, in you—our dear families.
Our school is built upon the very values we introduce to our youngest children, and we are grateful that you choose to be such an integral part of this community.
Wishing you a wonderful half-term on behalf of us all,
Rachel Ford Blanchard
Head of Early Childhood
