King's Pupils Have Started Learning Remotely

April 15th 2020

Today, all the planning that has gone into making it possible for our pupils to continue their education this term, came to fruition as Remote Learning started at 9am this morning.

The Headmaster gave a Virtual Assembly to welcome pupils to their Virtual Learning Environments.

Today in Assembly we would have sung the School Song. Here is the first verse and your favourite chorus.

Qui annis actis excesserunt

Insignes, nobis condiderunt

Scholum – quam felices colamus

Illos carminibus laudamus

Semper dimisit eruditos

Alumnus mater et politos

Nos illis dignos electemur

Praestare: Fortunam sequemur

Persat per annos nomen

Floreat Brutonia

Praesens dat Delphin omen:

Floreat brutonia

Divina sub tutela

Floreat Brutonia

Fausta tendamus vela.

Floreat Brutonia

Here is a selection of some of the Tweets, photographs and videos that parents and staff have sent in.

The only @KingsBruton pupil actually in school. Enjoying remote A Level Geography lesson with Dr Corrigan (and relieved her father did not make her wear school uniform). Headmaster pic.twitter.com/O4pIN2t3SU
