The School has decided against sending Christmas cards this year and, instead, has made a donation to the Brickhill Baptist Church Christmas Hampers Appeal.
Our ever popular Christmas Concert takes place on Monday 12 December and I look forward to enjoying an evening of Christmas music, a mince pie, and a chance to socialise with parents, pupils and staff as we approach the end of term.
Well done to Ed Fenton Fowler, one of our Year 12 students, who took part in selection trials in Austria to represent Great Britain in alpine ski racing at the Youth Olympic Winter Games 2012. I wish every Ed every success and look forward to hearing about Ed's progress in the new year.
Congratulations also to our U15 Rugby Team who are through to the last 16 of this year's Daily Mail Rugby Cup competition. Following a closely fought game against a previously unbeaten Cheltenham College side, BMS won 32-29 securing a place in the Midlands Regional Final to be played in January.

My special thanks to former Bedford Modern School pupil and Olympic legend Tim Foster MBE who coached our 1st VIII on Friday 9 December. Tim, who was awarded the MBE in 2001, began his rowing career at Bedford Modern School, attending BMS between 1983 and 1988.

I look forward to seeing you all refreshed and ready for the Spring Term on Thursday 5 January 2012.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
