4th Form Art Trip to St Ives departs
The whole school community, came together for Commemoration Day, celebrating the founding of King's Bruton in 1519.
I love Commemoration Day, but I know a lot of people ask: what’s it all about? Why do we make such an effort? Well, at the heart of Commemoration Day sit two things: giving thanks and trusting. We give thanks to God for the foundation of our school in 1519, for the foresight the original founders had, for the many generations of staff who have contributed to the School, and the countless pupils who have been educated through it. It’s a chance to pause from all the hustle and bustle that comes with daily school life and thank God for his generosity to us over the centuries and especially this past year. Commemoration Day is also a key moment to trust our school into the Lord’s hands. To ask for his blessing over all we do, and for his grace and strength as we all face different challenges in the coming year.
Thus, in many ways, I think of Commemoration Day as a great anchoring moment in our school year: it’s a day where we anchor ourselves in the Lord’s goodness, truth, and purposes. My particular thanks to Rev’d Richard Horner for helping us do that this year. The address he delivered was deeply relevant, engaging, witty and thoroughly applicable. He had poured a huge amount into preparing and delivering it, for which we are most grateful. Likewise, my thanks to our superb Chapel Choir headed up by the wonderful Mr Marshfield - the anthems they sang were rich in sound and beauty.
My very good wishes to one and all for the half term holiday!
Rev’d George Beverly - Foundation Chaplain
