Update from the Head
Sadly, the terrible weekend weather meant that even Ampleforth and Barnie Castle who will play in wellie boots, if possible, had to cancel sports fixtures! We are looking forward to the Emeriti Schools' Cricket Festival this weekend and the ever-popular Worsley Cup next week - let's hope the weather holds out.
Today marked two special events here in the Valley. It was the end of public exams for our students, who have worked tirelessly to do their very best in all their studies, bringing our academic focus summer term to a good end. I am delighted by the response of the other year groups in supporting the two Public Examination groups-and getting on with their own studies. I congratulate the Leavers and the Year 11s and look forward to seeing the fruit of their hard work on results days over the summer. For those who are leaving the Valley, I wish them all the very best for their future endeavours. Today, we also embraced our final 'disconnect to reconnect' day where students handed in their mobile phones and iPads for the day and enjoyed some quiet time - perfect timing before the whole school trip to Flamingo Land on Sunday which promises to be anything but quiet!
Update from the Head
Tomorrow, Edward Seymour will be hosting a 'Come and Sing' one-day choral workshop. You are warmly invited to join us at 10am in the Performing Arts Centre for rehearsals throughout the day before a performance of Haydn's Nelson Mass in the Abbey Church - we look forward to an uplifting day sharing beautiful music.
Next week will see a group of Year 12 students head off on the Friendship Holiday to Oakfield School for children with physical and/or learning difficulties in Nottingham, where they will use the funds they have worked so hard to raise to take the students on a number of excursions. It is also Service and Skills week for Year 12 who will be taking part in various activities, helpful both for others and for themselves, across the valley and beyond. A great way to mark the last week of the academic year.
All best wishes,
Peter

Head of Year 9, Mike Slingsby, had a fabulous time at the Ndume 7s at Pembroke House School, Kenya meeting students, staff and parents alike – thank you for your hospitality and look forward to seeing you all next year!
Macmillan Cancer Support Charity Race Winner
Many congratulations to Louis Pern (DO21), the youngest amateur rider, who won the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity Race at York Races on Saturday! Trained by Richard Fahey, Hartswood came home to win by four lengths. The race raised over a staggering £200,000 for Macmillan – well done to all involved!
IGCSE Drama Monologues
Well done to our Year 10 Drama students who completed their IGCSE monologue exam this week. They all worked incredibly hard on their performances.
Heath Mount Visit
It was lovely to welcome Heath Mount School to Ampleforth on Monday for a fun-filled afternoon of team building activities. We look forward to welcoming Ned, pictured here with his teacher Mr Bowden, who will be joining us in September.
Message from Mrs Dent
As we enter the final week of term, I can't help but start to think back over the year. As always, I am astonished at all that has happenened and all that has been achieved. Here they are, the girls of St Aidan's 2023-24 on one of the first weekends as we prepared for the annual Tug-of-War competition. This weekend we are saying goodbye to the last of our Year 13 finishing their exams. When I think of all these young women achieve alongside their busy academic lives, I am full of admiration for them. Their's truly a life rich in experience and service to others. When making a mental list of all they are individually and collectively involved in, it's quite mind-blowing, but also so inspiring. With so much still to come over the final days of term, we're squeezing the pips out of our shared life, before returning to our other lives for the summer: Flamingoland, The Friendship Project, Year 10 retreat, Year 12 skills week and Schola trip with the BBC singers. We look foward to reconvening in September, excited to build on what we have with a cohort of fresh faces and the promise of another fantastic year ahead under the student leadership of Lily, Calypso and Agnes, who are already planning for the next chapter of the St Aidan's story.
Mrs Ceri Dent, St Aidan's Housemistress
Thank you......
Thanks must be given to our outgoing Year 13, who have given so much to the House through their time here and have been outstanding role models for the younger years. They have undergone their own journeys of personal growth this year and leave us with great admiration for who they have become and the gifts they take with them to their next stage. They leave their legacy in the friendships they will keep and the part they have played in shaping the House ethos. We look forward to hearing of their adventures and to welcoming them back to visit in the future.
A reminder that if you'd like to keep up with the goings on of the House and girls, then do find us on social media. Please do also feel free to drop me line with news or pictures of interesting or note-worthy things the girls have been up to in the holidays. It's always nice to share their experience more widely on these pages to celebrate the many gifts and achievements of the girls.
Dear Parents, We are relishing the last few days in the Valley. With holidays soon approaching we bid our final farewell to the Year 13s. Soulfully, we reminisce over the highlights of the year. We are sharing a few here with you now. Please take a look at our Instagram and Facebook. Wishing you a happy and holy summer with family and friends. Warmest regards, Charmaine

The final push
Well, this week has been a quieter one, with a huge focus on end of year examinations and that is no real surprise. Despite the Euros kicking off and the ever approaching end-of-term excitement, this has been a week where work has had to (rightly) take centre stage.
That is not to say we have not had time to reflect and be grateful. Things to be grateful for this week include birthdays, celebrations and friendships. As the year draws to a close we look back on all that has been achieved this year and do so with a real sense of pride. The Cuthbert's Thomas' community is thriving, pupils are doing great things, next year already looks exciting and the relationships that we hoped would develop have blossomed this year.
These weeks are always tinged with a little sadness as we say goodbye to our Upper Sixth, they have been excellent role models for the House this year. The standard has been set in terms of student leadership. Their influence on the House, as it grows, will be long lasting and they can be proud of being the inaugural St Cuthbert’s & St Thomas’ Upper Sixth!
Next week will be one of celebration but this week we are grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate how much the boys have learned this year, to monitor their trajectory and gain valuable feedback for next year too.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the end of term!

Message from the Housemaster
This is going to be a very short Newsletter as the House is now down to 22 boys. The week started with a very wet weekend which did not enhance our Sunday BBQ a bit. However, from Monday it got drier and sunnier, and we are now enjoying sunshine and temperatures up to 23 degrees, just in time for the boys in Years 9 and 10 being cooped up inside to revise for their exams this week (well, we do let them out every now and then). The excitement is increasing day by day with the prospect of the looming holidays (and that is just the staff!). However, we will be making the most out of every day we have together until then.
It's coming home...!
The question is, whose home. My home nation did rather well winning 5-1 against a superbly supported but less than superbly perfoming Scottish side.
Hospitality
On Saturday night, we welcomed all the Year 10s to DO's for a night of dancing, singing and socialising.
Sunday BBQ
Last Sunday's BBQ was a washout. Since we had lost our gazebo due to some ill advised handling (Matron Lisa and I are to blame), we had to make do with what we had available...
Father's Day
I was very touched by the gesture of the the boys. They never cease to surprise me...
Thank you!
The second part of the Year 13 leavers' presents have arrived, a lovely wooden box for our balls and other equipment. We do love a tidy House! Thanks again for the generosity!

Despite the miserable weather, it was a triumphant end to the exmaination period as we decamped to Saltburn for a surf lesson. The pupils were great at getting on with it and helping each other out when it came to the torrential downpour that hit us. This spirit has continued to shine through as we near the end of term, and I am confident that the last week will provide a superb opportunity for all of them to show off all that they have achieved. All details of this can be found on the following pages as well as some photos of all that has been going on in and around House.

Message from the Housemaster
Dear Parents and Guardians, The Year 13s have all finished their A level examinations. We have farewelled them and wish them well for results day. We also say farewell to Hugh Ainscough from the House. Hugh has been a wonderful Assistant Housemaster in St Hugh's and I thank him dearly for the support and partnership that the House has enjoyed for the past three years. St Hugh's is very important to Hugh; he was proud to work in the House where he boarded as a student. We will miss him and I know the community wishes him well. Fortunately for the College, Hugh will be plying his efforts in the many arenas he frequents: the Golf course, the Cricket grounds, the Football pitches and the Christian Theology classrooms. We welcome back Matron Dawn Butler from maternity leave and therefore thank Lisa Cowling, Kate Duree and Penny Graham who have all served as Matrons in the House this year. The boys and the College are so fortunate to have an amazing team of pastoral carers and the Matrons are an integral part of that. As we gear up for the final weekend (and week) of the academic year, I wish you all a safe summer holiday period and look forward to you all returning in September ... except, of course, the current top year. Mr Dan MacDonald Housemaster, St Hugh's House
Farewell to a top year
Farewell Hugh.
Sunday BBQs are the best ...
Well done to our final Star of the Week ... Sam

Message from Ms Paterson
Dear Parents The final newsletter of the year as we come to the close of a wonderful school year. As I type the final Year 13s have left the House - I am sad to see them go but know they have great things ahead of them. With all the Year 11 and Year 13 gone, although it's a bit quiet, we still have a week ahead of fun (for the girls) with the Flamingo Land trip on the horizon. Year 12 have their service week and lots of activities are planned as we approach the end of the year. This week there have been a few trips out to Stanbrook Abbey and the art trip to Glasgow. I'm sure the girls are looking to trips further afield in the summer. We hope everyone has a wonderful summer and that if they are here the sun continues to shine. Look out for the St Margaret's round up in the Ampleforth Diary - it's a great reminder of all the things that we do as a House and the achievements that the girls have racked up over the year. All that remains is for me to wish you an adventurous, yet safe summer from all the St Margaret’s House staff; Moragh, Ms Buckley, Miss Lally and I. We will see you in the new school year!
Best wishes Rebecca
