Half term is almost upon us and the new Annual Review Magazines will be available to all. This year’s is a souvenir edition featuring the Chaplins, anniversary celebrations with children, Vines, parents and pupils and covering an amazing range of activities enjoyed by the children over the past seventy years, with focus on the past year. If you are a Vinelines reader and not on our reading list, you can request a copy of the school magazine through the school office.
Following last week’s grandparents’ Day I have received a number of charming thank you cards from our visitors. They were “bowled over” by their visit; enjoyed seeing the children in class; were amazed by the facilities and by the good manners of the children. Grandparents have commended the staff for their energy and dedication to teaching and learning and we in turn thank our grandparents for their generous support of Vinehall families.
There was a wonderful Subscription Concert on Saturday evening in our theatre featuring the Allegri String Quartet and it was good to see plenty of Vinehall parents and even some pupils there for a little culture.
This week, the rain poured on Year 8 as they visited Battle and Pevensey on their history field trip. Many thanks to the Mannion family for providing a refreshment stop!
The Form shield is to be presented weekly as usual, alongside special certificates for the top scoring junior form and senior form. Overall winners so far:
WEEK ONE 3E

Merit badge winners will also receive a certificate for their Records of Achievement. Good Copy Teas began this week in the Prep School. These are for individual pupils who amass 15 good copies (or multiples of fifteen). Well done to this week’s special tea winners!
On Saturday, I will show the school just three of Aaron Lam’s many badminton trophies. He is now the proud winner of the U/12 Sussex Boys’ Singles trophy. Well done, Aaron.
