2 Merchant Taylors’ Prep School Newsletter - 23.10.2020 Welcome from the Head MTP This Month As usual, time has flown by at school and we have successfully completed the first half term of this academic year. We have settled into our new routines and our boys have been brilliant at adapting to the new procedures that are in place. We have been able to cover at lot of curriculum content this term, partly due to not having so many events at school, and we have been able to revisit key topics from last term, if necessary, as well as make great headway into teaching new material relevant to this term. We congratulate Vivaan Verma on being elected as our School Captain this year, and Jayden Thakrar and Sam Williams for being elected as our School Vice-Captains. As you will have seen, our new office building is coming on very nicely. The contractors have finished the majority of the building work but there is still some work to go in terms of fitting out the inside of the building. We hope to move in before Christmas and I will keep you updated. Thank you to all parents for being so accommodating with respect to keeping pupils at home if they or any member of the household has COVID-19 symptoms or has tested positive. If in any doubt, you can always phone our School Nurse if you are not sure if your son can come to school or not. Please can I also remind you that in the unlikely event that you are travelling abroad this half term that quarantine periods are in operation for numerous countries. The boys, and indeed their teachers, have all worked very hard, and all deserve a good rest this half term. Dr McNerney Head of Merchant Taylors’ Prep
