What a magical first term this has been! As a former Clifton pupil, stepping back onto this beautiful campus, this time as a teacher, has felt like a homecoming in the truest sense. Just as my little Shongololos have been discovering the wonders of Clifton, I, too, have been rediscovering the charm of this special place from a new perspective.
