Dear ^Name.Title^
^Name.LastName^,
Greetings from a wet and misty Merchiston. We have
enjoyed welcoming back the boys this week as Autumn Term has got
underway. It has been a busy start to term with the opening of our new
Forest Nursery & Junior School. It has been exciting meeting our newest
and smaller pupils, and see them explore our beautiful outdoor space in The
Forest. You
can see some photos from their first day on our website.
Some dates

We will be hosting our next Open Morning for prospective
