The Summer Term is in full swing here at Blundell's, and with OB Day and Speech Day just around the corner, I wanted to keep you updated on some forthcoming events. I am especially excited to let you know that the school choir will be singing Evensong at Westminster Abbey in July. Many thanks to David Stanton (W 1974-79), Sub Dean & Treasurer at the Abbey, who has kindly offered to host those from the Blundell's Community wishing to attend — further details below.

Enjoy the summer, which seems to have finally made an appearance!
