Dear?Colleague

?The run-up to Christmas in a UK independent school is a uniquely joyous and bustling time, filled with energy and festive cheer. Classrooms sparkle with decorations crafted by enthusiastic students, and the air buzzes with excitement for nativity plays, carol concerts, and Christmas jumper days. Teachers find delight in fostering this festive spirit, balancing lessons with seasonal activities such as making cards, singing songs, or writing those heartfelt letters to Santa!

Staff rooms brim with treats, secret Santa exchanges, and the camaraderie is palpable as everyone counts down to the holidays. It genuinely is a time of creativity, connection, and a shared sense of celebration.

Not long to go now until the end of Term and I hope that you have great start to this wonderful festive period.

With best wishes, David.
