A warm welcome to our new Stoics. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Stowe in September 2007. Many of you will have been able to attend our recent weekend for new Third Form pupils (held on 23 and 24 June 2007), and although the weather tried to play havoc with our activity plan forcing a rapid change to a wet weather programme, the feedback has been tremendous. We hope that this weekend enabled you get to know your future House mates and House staff members a little and meet many of the other boys and girls who will also be joining in September with you.
Some of you will have spotted our 'roving photographer' around on the Sunday as he tried to capture the atmosphere of the event, albeit a wet one at the time! We are pleased to provide a link here through to Stowe's photo gallery for parents, which will give you all an insight into some of the action during the weekend.

We fully appreciate that not all of you could join us for this introductory session, but please be reassured that you were not the only one. These last few weeks of term are a busy school time and a number of you, of course, wished to participate fully in your current school's activities. The arrangements for the first few days of the September term take into account that for some boys and girls this will be the first time they have stayed at Stowe and met their new House team.
To give you an idea of what to expect during your first few days, here is an outline of the welcome programme for our new Third Form pupils:
