This morning's Senior School assembly enabled pupils to learn a little more about the remarkable career of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her success in slowly tackling discrimination by taking apart sexist policies and laws one by one in the US. Inspirational quotes have been shared on noticeboards to allow pupils the chance to discuss and reflect on her wisdom. These include: • "You can disagree without being disagreeable." • "Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." • "Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time." • "So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great, good fortune." • "Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade." • "I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others." • "Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true." • "Don't be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment. These just zap energy and waste time." • "I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability."

Our Open Morning on Saturday 3 October will be different, not least because of having no pupils on site! We have had to introduce a range of new procedures to ensure everyone's safety. Please pass on the message that advanced booking is essential even for existing parents, as teacher led tours have to be carefully staggered around the site to manage and minimise the risk for all. Thank you for your support.
